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…

John 17:7, NIV
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. John 17:7, NIV Jesus knew that everything that He received came from God.

So if you are surrounded by people who are in need, and you happen to have more than enough blessings, then remember that what you have comes…
