Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus, King of the Universe” – Faith: In today’s Gospel Jesus was interrogated by King Herod, like a criminal. However, in Truth, Jesus’ Kingdom which is of Heaven, is infinitely more powerful than Herod. Ponder on, “Those who have no faith, or who reject Jesus as King of the universe; are missing the Greatest and the most Precious Truth in life.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 20:27-36,38
‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked. Jesus replied, ‘Do you ask this of your own accord, or have others spoken to you about me?’
Pilate answered, ‘Am I a Jew? It is your own people and the chief priests who have handed you over to me: what have you done?’
Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. But my kingdom is not of this kind.’
‘So, you are a king then?’ said Pilate. ‘It is you who say it’ answered Jesus. ‘Yes, I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this: to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’
