    Jesus is asked by Pontius Pilate if he is the king of the Jews. Pilate is not talking about a heavenly kingdom but an earthly kingdom. Pilate was not making an act of faith. He wanted to know if Jesus was a political threat or not. Jesus responds knowing that Pilate would not likely understand but encourages Pilate and the listeners to learn about God’s kingdom. Pilate’s perspective is very simple and does not see the point Jesus is trying to make. Its worth noting that Jesus is not intimidated by Pilate. Likely he knows how this will unfold. He is confident and remains focused.

    The term kingdom in a modern context might not have the same meaning that it did 2,000 years ago. We are less likely to see kings as leaders or holding a position of significant power.

    I invite listeners to pause and reflect on who is God to you. Another way is to reflect on what role does God have in your life?
