Pastor Katie Ricks explains that while the term Christ the King’s Sunday can feel uncomfortable today, its origins lie in a post–World War I protest against rising nationalism and the idea that ultimate loyalty belongs to the state. Introduced by Pope Pius XI, the title was meant to redirect people toward Christ’s compassionate and inclusive leadership. Katie reminds us through Colossians 1:11–20 that Jesus welcomes all with love, making him the only true King.
