Season after Pentecost

“Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?’”

John 18:33-34

In an age of trivia and information overload, we can easily forget the power of questions. Questions that surface not simply to acquire knowledge but to allow the truth we discover to shape our lives. Pilate asks such a life changing question, and Jesus pushes at his intent: Is this a question you have come to through your reflection on who I am, or has mild curiosity distracted you from the soul-shaping work of wrestling with my identity?

Gentle Shepherd who rules over all, grant us questions that bubble up from the core of our being. Help us wrestle with who You are in our lives and in our life together. To the glory of God, we pray. Amen
