Jesus Reigns Forever
In this Sunday Mass Homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, Fr. Erel Villanueva reminds us of a powerful truth at the heart of our faith: Jesus reigns forever.
As we reach the end of the Liturgical Year, the Church celebrates the Feast of Christ the King, honoring Jesus as the King of kings and Lord of lords. Fr. Erel emphasizes that our God truly reigns—He is King, and He is always in control.
Nothing happens without the knowledge of our King. No matter what is happening in the world or in our personal lives, God is still in control. Jesus still reigns. Because He reigns forever, there is hope, there is peace, and there is always a solution rooted in His love.
A King Unlike Any Other
What kind of King do we have?
We have a merciful, forgiving, and loving King. Jesus seeks out the lost so He can bring them back into His embrace. He is a humble King, one who did not take advantage of His authority—even as He hung on the cross.
On the cross, Jesus proclaimed, “Father, forgive them.” In that moment, we witnessed a King overflowing with mercy, compassion, and grace. This is the King who invites us to surrender our hearts to Him.
Let Jesus Reign in Your Life
To proclaim that Jesus reigns forever is to allow Him to reign in our daily lives. Fr. Erel encourages us to submit our hearts to Christ the King—He who is faithful, loving, and ever-merciful.
May we always remember: Jesus reigns forever, and in His reign we find hope, healing, and true peace.
