✝️ Why did Christ the King choose a Cross instead of a throne?
Earthly kings reign through armies, wealth, and power. Christ the King revealed His true royalty upon Calvary, where He conquered through perfect obedience, sacrificial love, and the Holy Cross.
Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Roman Catechism, St. Augustine, St. Alphonsus Liguori, and Pope Pius XI’s Quas Primas, this short explains why the Cross is the royal throne of Christ and why every Christian must carry the Cross before sharing in His eternal Kingdom.
“The Crown of Thorns came before the Crown of Glory.”
