"Then Pilate went back into the common hall and called Jesus and said," Are you the King of the Jews? "Jesus answered:" You say this of your own, or did others have told you of me? "Pilate answered," Is Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done? "
Jesus answered " My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight that was not delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not here. " Pilate said to him: "So you are a king?"
Jesus answered "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice. " Jn. 18, 33b-37

Jesus Christ King of Kings ... But does the King of what?
When we speak of kings or queens imagine a kind of noble incredible life and rights. Money, jewelry, property, authority, very, very good life, recognition, comfort, freedom (licentiousness), among many things.
But when we read the Word of God, and we see the life and work of this king, there is a disastrous impact this body and what we know. The King has no material wealth, but a broader realm of freedom, love, compassion, mercy and forgiveness. It has no crown of diamonds, or pearls or precious stones, but sharp thorns and heartbreaking. You do not have fine clothes and expensive: wine naked and left naked. It has no political power is a political persecution by state human dignity, equality, tolerance ... And comparing could spend all day.
The King of Kings is Jesus and we all celebrate liturgically his coronation to return to the arms of his father after completing his mission, and we see in pictures with powerful scepter and crown, to go down the Arm the fulfillment of Revelation is only the king himself poor beggar and the Gospels , whose wealth is to give every last drop of their blood for the freedom of mind, physical and spiritual of all creatures.
He himself says: Jesus answered, "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice. "
May this day understand the value of his reign and Let us imitate him, not seeking the assurance of this life, because when they leave, there is only sadness that chokes on anything only with the consolation that comes from your dear heart. That just put our faith, hope and trust in this King and not in this world that do not intereza our dignity and real freedom, only to earn a place in our lives where we can steal the ability to be ourselves.
Praised be Jesus Christ!
