The , You are truly a King because rulers of countries live in castles. They wear crowns and long You have come into the world to institute capes and sit on thrones while their loyal subjects pay them homage. W hile I am aware that modern kings and queens wear among men the rule of God. Every man who “regular” clothes unless tradition dictates otherwise and that is of the truth, every man who believes in castles have become more contemporary, I still watch royal God and recognizes His authority in human weddings for a glimpse of the pageantry that fed my childhood affairs, owes You a loyal and undivided fantasies. allegiance and “hears Your voice.” Pilate had an idea of what kings were like, too. In the first century, kings made laws and led people into battle. They had great armies and were a danger to another country’s way of life. You are humble and submissive as You The Jews kept talking about a messiah who would become king speak of Your kingdom. You declare that and destroy Israel’s enemies. Pilate wasn’t taking any chances. Your kingdom is upon earth, but not of the For Rome’s sake, he would get rid of anyone who seemed a earth; it is a spiritual, supernatural kingdom, threat. the kingdom of truth.

But Pilate had no idea why he was right because he was thinking in human terms.
