"Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." ~ John 18:37
Truth is an abstract thought for some I think. If I stay quiet and pray diligently, the truth can be quite loud for me. Some days even if I don't do this, the truth is still able to whisper in my ear and get my attention.
The trouble with truth though is that it can be different in any given circumstance for two people. What then? What happens when two people believe two very different concepts and yet each believes theirs to be the truth?
Well, perhaps then you end up in a predicament as Jesus did. Christ as King is the Feast we celebrate today to end ordinary time. Pilate stands questioning him in today's Gospel and his answers are mysterious and disturbing. What is this truth to which we should belong? Dare we do it? Dare we stand in the Light and say yes?
This church year ends and a journey through Advent begins. We come to the stable with the knowledge that the King, born a child, will be crucified and die. That is some awesome truth to ponder in these next weeks.
Peace,
Suzanne
