GOSPEL OF THE DAY - 24 NOV - Christ the King: A Kingdom of Truth and Love

The Gospel reading for Sunday,nov 24, is from the Gospel of John, chapter 18, verses 33b to 37. This passage recounts the dialogue between Jesus and Pontius Pilate during Jesus' trial. In this exchange, Pilate questions Jesus about His kingship, asking, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus responds by clarifying that His kingdom is not of this world, indicating that His reign is spiritual rather than political. He states, "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."
