John 18:36

John 18:36 says, 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 unto the Jews: but now My kingdom is not of hence.  Jesus did not directly answer Pilates question but told him the kingdom He was King of was not of this world.  If Jesus was establishing an earthly kingdom, He would have His followers fighting the Jews.  We today spend a lot of time fighting the world, but is that what Jesus really wants us to do?  Just as His kingdom was not of this world, neither is ours.  Where do we draw the line between witnessing to and battling the world?  I am not sure exactly where the line should be drawn, but I am sure that God would never say, "Kill them all, and let Me sort it out."  Verse thirty-seven adds, Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art Thou a king then?  Jesus answered him, Thou sayest that I am a king.  To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Everyone that is of the truth heareth My voice.  Jesus came for one purpose, and that was to redeem mankind.  He was not here to establish an army and a worldly kingdom, but to call the lost people of the world to Him, even those that professed to be following the Father already.  It is not enough to say we follow Christ without recognizing the truth of Christ.  If we are of the truth, that is, His followers, then we recognize His voice.  We should be attuned enough to God through the Holy Spirit to recognize what He is saying to us.  Christ's kingdom in this world is in the hearts of His followers.  It is not in a geographic location but is worldwide.  His followers are not characterized by any dividing factor, but by the uniting factor of the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.  Sometimes, I believe that we live as though this world is the most important thing to us.  We spend a majority of our time and resources on earthly things when we are called on to lay up treasures in heaven.  Jesus said that His kingdom was not of this world, and He wasn't fighting to claim it.  He laid down His life for the world.  What are we as His followers expected to do?
