Sermon, Uri Brito, “The Nature of the Kingdom: Theocracy and Truth”, John 18:33-37

Sermon Manuscript & Footnotes

Text: 33 So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

Prayer: Our God, thank you for bringing us to this point in our calendar. We thank you for guiding your Church through it and by so doing, structuring our lives around the life of Christ our Messiah. Teach us about your kingdom and teach us to love your kingdom. For this is our Prayer, O Lord. Amen. Continue reading “John 18:33-37 The Nature of the Kingdom: Theocracy and Truth, Sermon Audio”
