“My kingdom does not belong to this world” (John 18: 36)

Jesus is the Son of God; He is also a real human made of blood and flesh. Although Jesus says His kingdom does not belong to this world, it does not mean that He is not of our big family of human beings. Moreover, this big family belongs to His kingdom. Jesus wants all people to unite together, to fulfill His wish of “all in one”.

When Jesus began His preaching, He had indicated to people that God’s kingdom was at hand. It is coming closer and closer to us.

God’s kingdom refers to where God is present. “Where there is kindness, there is love. And God will always be there!” This lyric excerpt eloquently expresses that God’s kingdom is the destiny of love and kindness.

When Jesus left the world, He had bequeathed us with the Holy Eucharist, His words and His church. With all these preciousness, we are not alone as we walk along the roads of life.

However, we all have to go through our own path of life. No matter it leads to success, failure, sadness or joy, Jesus will always be with us. When we keep up our faith in God, our trust and perseverance, the peace of God’s kingdom will belong to us.
