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.”
John Chapter 18 Verses 36 and 37.
Beautiful passage. Jesus always concerned himself with God's Kingdom and would want us to be concerned about God's Kingdom (Heaven).
That said, we all have our political ideologies. Our sense of right or wrong in state policy making and we will always want to vote for the parties that promise us that those policies will be met out by the political party if elected to power. So we are all more political than we all think we are. Voting is everything in a democracy. Every vote counts. Those who do vote, vote because they favour the policies or the ideologies of a political party or leader. Those who choose not to vote are happy with the things as they are.
