| Summary: | The Kingdom constitutes one of the most important themes in the first Gospel. It is also a basic notion in the Psalms. Hilary who commented on both books could not fail to touch on this theme often. Almost everywhere in his Commentary on Matthew it is a matter of a reality to come — at the time of the resurrection of the flesh. But this reality is already possessed in hope. It is also a present reality — to the degree that it coincides with the Church, the Body of Christ. Fundamentally it is in Christ that the Kingdom exists. The mystery of its concorporatio will reach its full completion in a con-regnare of Christ and his own. Hilary goes on to develop his first ideas in his Tractatus in Psalmos. The commentary on Ps 2:7 is particularly important. Hilary understands that verse in the light of Acts 13:32-34. The « ego hodie genui te » refers to the day of the resurrection. It is in his Passover that Christ becomes King in the order of the dispensatio. He will extend that mystery to his own by making them like his body of glory (Phil 3:21). When everything will have been subjected to him, including death, he will hand over the Kingdom to his Father (I Cor 15:24-27). That will be the last act in the magnum pietatis sacramentum (I Tim 3:16). The prayer of Christ in his Passion will then be fully heard: « Father, I desire that they also may be there where I am; that they may be all one, I in them and Thou in me ». (Jn 17:21-24). |
