Description:Excerpt from Christ Our King: An Explanation of the New Feast From an Historical and Dogmatic Standpoint We retained the memory of the kingship of Christ by calling Him "Our Lord." But a word thus used daily loses its special meaning and assumes the place of a proper name or noun. Hence the need of renewing the teaching that Jesus Christ is a King, and recently His Holiness the Pope instituted a festival on which, every year, this attribute of Our Lord will be duly celebrated. As explained in the Encyclical of His Holiness, Christ is King in more than one sense. The extracts here given from a book of Sir John Seeley, Professor of History in the University of Cambridge, tell very clearly in what sense Our Lord is literally and historically a king. Sir John was not noted for his orthodoxy as an Anglican; but he was within limits, a master of historical exposition, and the extracts given are well worth reading. An Application. The compiler of this pamphlet wishes to point out a natural inference which it would not have occurred to Sir John Seeley to draw from his admirable exposition. The exposition makes it very clear that, under the Old Law, God continued to be the King of Israel after human kings of the House of David succeeded one another. The human kings represented the Invisible King in administration, but not in the quality of Founder, not in the quality of constitutional Legislator, and not in the quality of final Judge of human conduct. There was no inconsistency, and there was no usurpation of divine power on the part of the human king. Since such was the case under the Old Law, it is a fair inference that there may be a human head of the Kingdom, which Christ founded without any usurpation of the royal powers which belong to our Lord.
