A Layman's Questions

Why would anyone think Christ is not political?

John 18:35-37
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
36 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.”

37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.

Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

It is amazing that anyone would question the politics of God. The reason the World hates us is because we testify on God's behalf that what is done is evil as Jesus did when talking to his brothers (John 7:6-8). While many twist this and advance a social gospel the power of Christ is evident in all corners of the world. The time of the Lord is not come, and evil must have its day first God is seeking to be absolute ruler of our hearts no devotion comes above him (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)

So how do we participate in the politics of Christ? We ae of course his ambassadors meaning we are his subjects every day. Many misapply the great commission when in fact Not all Christians were called here however, we are called to represent Christ and spread his word/glory as his representatives in whatever we do. This is wherre regeneration comes in because in our Flesh we can't be loyal to God only those born again are freed in in thought, attitude, and soul to glorify our Father in Heaven.
