2. John 18:33-37
Christ the KING Sunday

3. Pilate then went back inside
the palace, summoned Jesus
and asked him,
“Are you the king of the Jews?”
“Is that your own idea,” Jesus
asked,
“or did others talk to you about
me?”
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied.
“Your own people and
chief priests handed you
over to me.
JOHN
18:33-35

4. Jesus said, “My kingdom
is not of this world. If it were,
my servants would fight to prevent
my arrest by the Jewish leaders.
But now my kingdom is
from another place.”
“You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am
a king. In fact, the reason I was
born and came
into the world is to testify to the
truth. Everyone on the side of

18:36-37

8. - IMPLICATIONS:
God did not create humanity
because God needed to, or to
have someone to love.
Love is found in relationships.
God is in relationship to God’s own self.
We were created in order that God could
share the love that God already experienced

9. - TRUTH IS FOUND IN SHARED
RELATIONSHIP:
Growing UP in our relationship with God,
Diving IN to our relationships with one another
Reaching OUT in our relationships with
the world around us

10. If a brother or sister
is poorly clothed and
lacking in daily food,
and one of you says to them,
“Go in peace, be warmed and
filled,”
without giving them the things
needed for the body, what good is
that?
So also faith by itself, if it does not
have works, is dead.
JAMES
2:15-17

11. Religion that is pure
and undefiled before God,
the Father, is this:
to visit orphans
and widows in
their affliction,
and to keep oneself
unstained from the world
JAMES
1:27

12. ISAIAH 1:16-17
Wash and make
yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds
out of my sight;
stop doing wrong.
Learn to do right; seek
justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause ofGod’s call to CARE for those God

19. a prayer of ST FRANCIS
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled
as to console; to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
