OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE YEAR B
First Reading Dn 7:13-14 Vision of the son receiving kingship, dominion and glory.
Second Reading Rv 1:5-8 The Lord is the Alpha and the Omega.
Gospel Jn 18:33-37 Pilate questions Jesus about his identity.
Have you thought? The Kingdom of God
When Jesus speaks about the Kingdom of God he never gives a particularly clear picture of what he means. He usually refers to the kingdom with metaphoric language (‘the kingdom of God is like …’) and often the kingdom is defined by what it is not. The kingdom is also a real contradiction: it is here and now and yet it is still to come; it is almost impossible for some to enter the kingdom while others are assured a place; it is within us and in our hearts and yet is a great banquet to which all are invited.
