CHRIST THE KING Ezekiel 34, 11 16, 20 24 – – In a forthright attack precedes our reading this morning, the prophet Ezekiel castigates the Israeli Government they are like shepherds who neglect their flocks. Then he speaks for God as the faithful – Shepherd who genuinely cares for His people. Ephesians 1, 15 23 – From this triumphant passage in a letter (possibly written by St. Paul) we begin to understand how a crucified Galilean preacher came to be worshipped as Lord of All. Matthew 25. 31 46 – Before he describes Our Lord’s Passion and Resurrection, St. Matthew has collected discourses on the End Time, and two parables on Judgement. This devastating parable leaves no that those who fail to love will face the consequence.
