The Throne of the Cross: Jesus as New Adam, New David, and New Emperor

Mass Readings for November 23, 2025

As Jesus hangs upon the cross, a mocking crowd labels him “King of the Jews”—yet in this act of utter humiliation, the Gospels reveal his true royal power. This week, we’ll dive deep into Luke’s Passion narrative, unravel the political and prophetic significance of Christ’s title, and discover why the cross is also a throne. Along the way, we’ll unveil surprising connections to Adam, David, and ancient Jewish kingship, painting a vivid portrait of Christ the King. Get ready for Scripture, history, and heart-stirring themes that will transform how you approach the feast of Christ the King. Read more.
