Christ, Where Are You?


           A story I read lately was said of a man who asked God; “Christ are you really a King? Are you a powerful King, or a weak one? There are many evils happening in the world. Wicked men dominate(ing) the world: druglords, gambling lords,  kidnappers, killer, rapists, robbers, and  terrorists! Many unborn babies are aborted; many innocent people are victimized. Many people do not give importance to you! A  tricycle driver, who brought passengers to a barangay was killed and left by the roadside to be run over by passing vehicles."
           
Then we ask,Christ, where are you? Where is your kingdom? Where is your power? If we look at what is happening in the world, we would agree with that man asking Christ, “Where are you?”  Let’s go back to the Gospel of today.  What do we read and what do we hear? Christ is in his special throne and what was his throne?  THE CROSS! This was his throne. Is He sitting there comfortably? No, he is nailed to His Cross,his throne .He could not move, for if he does, he was in great pain. And he was bleeding to death!
           
            As a King, was he  surrounded by soldiers? Was he surrounded by servants to serve him? No!. He was surrounded instead by the soldiers and the mob who nailed Him to His cross. And what where they doing?  they were jeering and sneering at him! And they were saying,” he saved others ,he should save himself if indeed He is Christ the chosen One by God.
