Jesus told Pilot: ""My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world." The result of that position Jesus died as did most of the apostles and many of his followers. How should that affect about the "here and now"?
Now I realize Jesus wanted to die. But how should his statement guide us as to our physical protection? Paul ran rather than fight. Today, Christians are looking to the "now" and live too much for the "now." Listen to the public prayers. We are focused on the world not on heaven: on the physical not the spiritual: on the flesh not the spirit.
