Matthew 11:11-15. Jesus corrects a misunderstanding about the Kingdom of God and its present state. It's not what we expected, yet. There's coming a day when God's Kingdom comes in its fullness where we shall see it in all its glory.

Luke 12:35-40. Jesus tells His disciples to be ready for His return. For those who are ready and waiting, His return will be a blessing.

John 18:33-37. As Pilate interrogates Jesus to find out if He is a king. Jesus describes His kingship as other worldly, and one that Pilate, and the Jews, are powerless to prevent.

Christ came to establish His kingdom and let you know that His kingdom is for you.
