Jesus answered, "My kingdom does
not belong to this world. If my
kingdom did belong to this world,
my attendants would be fighting to
keep me from being handed over to
the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is
not
here."
Jn
18:36
"Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."
Once they wear the crown, earthly kings don't have to win
the allegiance of their subjects; if you live in the kingdom,
you're part of the kingdom and are under the authority of
the king. But things are different with Jesus.
As the Lord told Pilate, "my kingdom does not belong to
this world." His subjects are not given by default. His
kingdom is not established in a particular place or even in
a particular time. Rather, the realm of the King of the
universe encompasses all the other kingdoms of the world.
And everyone, regardless of any earthly allegiance, is
invited to be the privileged subject of this King. The key
to entering this kingdom, as Jesus says, is to listen to his
voice. Heeding the voice--the teachings, the guidance, the
commandments--of Jesus enables us to belong to this
kingdom that is founded upon truth. Jesus defines his
authority in these terms: "For this I was born and for this I
came into the world, to testify to the truth." As Christians,
we profess to follow the King of kings. Therefore, as
members of his royal realm, we too should be about the
business of testifying to the truth. Of course there are
many ways to defend the truth in our modern age.
Upholding the dignity of life and protecting religious
liberty are two examples of the pressing issues of our day.
But even more fundamental is the basic claim we make:
that Jesus is in fact God-made-man and that, through his
death and resurrection, he has saved us from our sins.
This Gospel message, both simple and profound, is a truth
that never grows old. Let us boldly profess the truth of the
Gospel as we invite all
those we encounter to join
in the joy of the kingdom
of Jesus.
