John 18:36-3736 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Jesus plainly stated that His kingdom is not of this world. That being true because He is truth and His Word is true, why is it then that we place so much stock in the things of this world? If the Christian would be asked to list the things most important to him or her in this world most all would put the name of Jesus at the top of the list. Now that is good that we know where He is to be, but do we live it? Do we live in a manner while in this world that shows we are not of this world? Most who would put Jesus at the top of their list were not in church last night, will not read their Bible today, will give prayer only a passing moment, watch things and listen to things that blaspheme the very person of Jesus Christ. Yet they say He is the most important person in their lives. It is timte we got back to living it and not just saying it. Is your kingdom of this world?
