Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Christ Our King: An Explanation of the New Feast From an Historical and Dogmatic Standpoint
That these prophesies Were fulfilled is amply proven by numerous texts from the Gospel Writers; notably that in Which is contained the announcement of the Archangel informing the Virgin Mary that she shall conceive and bear a son on Whom God will bestow the throne of. David his progenitor, and that the new born child shall reign in the house of Jacob for all eternity, and that His Kingdom shall be without end.
As a result of this doctrine found in Scripture, the Church in her liturgy, proclaimed Him to be Sovereign Lord and. King of Kings. Lst.' Cyril of Alexandria points out the basis of this soyal dignity when he says: He obtained dominion over every creature not by force nor because of mere external reasons, but because of His very essence and nature. He rules as God and man. He rules by right of conquest brought about by His redemption of mankind. We, therefore, no longer' belong to ourselves, for Christ has bought us at the highest possible price. Our bodies, too, are members of Christ.
