Weekly Devotional

John 18:36
36 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."
 
A lot of energy is spent defending Jesus. There are big fights in school boards and legislatures, public forums of every kind, where the call to “defend Christian values” is raised as the standard, and the trenches are manned to defend against a wave of irreligious people bent on stripping Christ of his power. The cause of defending Christ from non-Christians, it seems, is an important role to many people.
 
But then we read this passage.
 
“If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over.”
 
Are we fighting a battle that Jesus isn’t calling us to fight? Does Jesus really need defending so bad that we would demonize people who disagree with the gospel, force our faith on unwilling participants, and describe any act that fails to prioritize Christianity as “persecution?” If even Jesus’ disciples weren’t called to fight for him when he was literally being handed over to be crucified, why do we think Jesus wants us to fight, tooth and nail, now?
 
Because his kingdom is not from this world. It’s not like this world. It doesn’t rely on force to be made present. His kingdom doesn’t require us to draw the sword and kill or die to defend it. It’s not an earth-like kingdom that has borders or relies on power and intimidation to defend itself. Instead, Jesus calls us to imitate the heavenly kingdom.
 
And that looks like living a life of self-sacrifice. It looks like standing firm in our convictions without utilizing force to make other people believe what we believe. It looks like loving our neighbor even when they don’t love us. It looks like doing justice with determination, but not with hate. It looks like modeling our lives after the One who went to the cross, humbling ourselves and serving others so that the endless love and justice of the kingdom of God will be made known in the world.
 
Because his kingdom is not from this world.
