John 18:33
John 18:33 Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, ''Are You the King of the Jews?'' 34 Jesus answered him, ''Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?'' 35 Pilate answered, ''Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?'' 36 Jesus answered, ''My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.''
Everyone is looking for something beyond this world. They have an intrigue for the supernatural - something above the natural. We live in a world that is experienced by our five senses. Hear, see, touch, taste, smell. But there is more. To find something beyond this plane of existence, some people choose to seek out experiences beyond themselves, and find them in alcohol, drugs, occult practices, pornography or other sexual experiences.
The truth is that we were born for something greater than this plane of existence. We were created by a loving Eternal God who plan and who loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on a rugged cross that we could be forgiven, saved and born again to enter into a kingdom that is not of this world - that we would be in a place that exists in eternity, where God is. We were created to be with Him forever. The kingdom of heaven is real, but we must understand that God's heart is that we don't have to wait to experience Him in heaven, but that we can enter it now to get a glimpse of this eternal kingdom.
John 14:1-3 ''Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you ...
