“To Testify To The Truth” Rev. Sarah Gomez-Lorraine

1st Scripture Reading:

Psalm 93
God is ruler,
God is robed in majesty;
the Sovereign is robed,
and is girded with strength.
God has established
the world;
it shall never be moved;
your throne is established
from of old;
you are from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up,
O God,
the floods have lifted up
their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
More majestic than the thunders
of mighty waters,
more majestic than the waves
of the sea,
majestic on high is God!
Your decrees are very sure;
holiness befits your house,
O God, forevermore.

2nd Scripture Reading:
​
John 18:33-37
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?" Pilate replied, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here." Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. 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."
