SOLEMNITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

SOLEMNITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

INTRODUCTION:

If you have a really good friend, you will be anxious to ensure that your friendship lasts forever. If you truly love your wife or husband, you want your love bond to last forever. Some of these thoughts come into our minds in these last few Sundays of the church year. When we look to the future we think about the end of the world and we read about frightening events. This is the time to which we, as Christians, look forward with anxiety, saying: if only our friendship with Christ will last… never mind what else happens. If only our union with Christ lasts forever.

GOSPEL: JOHN 18 -33B -37

Pilate said to Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here.” So, Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
