SCRIPTURE:
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
John 18:36
As followers of Christ, we are part of a different kingdom — the kingdom of God. Jesus Himself declared that His kingdom is not of this world. We may live in this world, but our citizenship is in heaven. Our focus should not be on the temporary things of this world, but rather on the eternal things of God.
We may encounter difficulties in this life, but we can take comfort in knowing that we belong to a higher kingdom. Just as Jesus did not fight against the authorities of this world, we must also resist the temptation to engage in worldly battles. Instead, let us trust in God and seek His will in all things. Our ultimate victory is not found in the things of this world, but in the promise of an eternal life with Him.
Let us remember that we are merely pilgrims in this world, passing through on our way to our heavenly home. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus and strive to live according to His teachings. Only then can we experience true peace, joy, and fulfillment in our lives.
