Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”  John 18:36-37 NASB

JESUS CHRIST - King - strong and valiant - merciful - the Holy commander of the angel armies.

Much of what has been written and preached about Jesus Christ over the past decades has often amounted to nothing more than a watered-down misty version of Jesus Christ, Saviour of mankind.

This has probably been done to appease the current society’s culture, to appear inclusive and take no risk of offending someone, to fill up more church buildings on Sundays, or sadly to keep the peace among friends and family. However, as we read through the pages of the New Testament we are taught that Jesus Christ, yes born in a manger, came to reign on the earth and in the heavens as the warrior King.

In John 18:37-38 we are taught how Jesus affirmed to Pilate the reason He chose to be born. He came to the earth He created to show man that Jesus Christ is the true King and to demonstrate this truth in person.
