It starts in Advent as we get ready for Jesus to be born, and this is the last week before we start that journey again. This week we look back at the whole year and remember that Jesus is, was, and will always be King.<br><br>But Jesus isn\u2019t like the other kings, and Jesus\u2019s kingdom isn\u2019t like other kingdoms.<br><br>Most kings are born in palaces and sleep in grand beds; Jesus\u2019s first bed was a feeding trough, and for many years he had no home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most kings are big and powerful and have armies to fight for them, but Jesus was a servant to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most kings wear royal robes and golden crowns, but the only crown we see Jesus wear is one made of thorns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most kingdoms fight over land and resources; Jesus\u2019s kingdom fights for people&#8217;s hearts.<br><br>When Jesus was arrested, a man called Pilate tried to understand what kind of king Jesus was. The Jewish leaders had called him \u201cKing of the Jews,\u201d but the man who stood before him didn\u2019t look like a king.<br><br>\u201cAre you a king?\u201d asked Pilate.<br><br>\u201cMy kingdom is not of this world,\u201d said Jesus.<br><br>\u201cSo you are a king then?\u201d said Pilate.<br><br>\u201cYou say that I\u2019m a king,\u201d Jesus replied. Then, he continued, \u201cI was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth.\u201d <br><br>Pilate was confused. What was this truth that Jesus spoke of? But Jesus wasn\u2019t confused. He knew that sharing the truth of God\u2019s kingdom would end with him dying and then coming back to life.<br><br>Confused, Pilate had the crowd decide, and the crowd had Jesus killed. The king of all Heaven and Earth had a crown of thorns placed on his head and died between two thieves. But we know there is still more story to tell, and that the story of Jesus never ends. We know that the story of Jesus is still being told in the things his followers are doing today.<br><br>Next week, we will begin the story again for a new year. Jesus will be born and die and rise again; then his followers will spread the word of his Kingdom around the whole world.<br>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we finish our cycle through the lectionary, it\u2019s important to help kids learn this anchor of our year.
