John 18:36, NIV
Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.” John 18: 36, nIV This is what Jesus said to Pilate when He asked Him if He was the King of the Jews. At this moment, Jesus was accused by the High priest, and they wanted Him to be crucified on the cross. But even though our Savior went through this torment, He still knew who He was. Jesus is a King. It just happens that during the moment, His kingdom is not that visible because God intended…

God is Alive and Still Moving
Painful tragedies, sudden death, uncontrollable disasters, poverty, corruption, and many more. These are the things that pushed some of us to believe that maybe God is sleeping because He allowed these bad situations to happen. Maybe He is not there because people are still suffering. Maybe He doesn’t care because innocent human beings are still going through traumatic experiences. We find it so easy to conclude that God no longer cares. We base our faith in Him according to what we go through and what we see in our environment, but faith is not like that. It exists even if you can see bad things around you. In fact, you…

John 18:25, NIV
Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not.” John 18:25, NIV Simon Peter is a disciple of God. He followed our Savior and listened to His teachings. Jesus would take Him to different places. He walked on water, and He saw Jesus perform miracles. Peter went through a lot with Jesus, but those experiences were not enough for Him to feel secure when persecution happened. The moment Jesus was arrested, Simon Peter left His master. He even denied Him not once but three times. And the amazing part is…

John 18:22 , NIV
When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded. John 18:22, NIV The high priest slapped Jesus in the face because He boldly proclaimed the truth. Our savior was mocked and accused in front of the religious people who claimed to know God. Their reaction appears strong because they felt attacked by what Jesus said. But even if He knew how these high priests would react, He still chose to release the right words despite what they would feel. Sometimes, we go through challenges and pain because we choose to live in the truth.…
