FAITH BOOK

CHRIST THE KING (B) November 24, 2024

Daniel 7: 13-14; Psalm 93; Revelation 1: 5-8;
John 18: 33b-37

By: Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

Jesus said to Pilate,
“My kingdom does not belong to this world.”

Reflection:

Jesus is redefining the very notion of what "king" and "kingdom" mean. Jesus draws members to his kingdom and to himself, not by the force of power, but through the truth of his words and the love he engenders in those who hear and receive his message.

So, we ask ourselves: 

• How does my citizenship in Jesus’ kingdom affect the way I live my daily life?

• How can I recognize the signs of Jesus’ kingdom?
