MontesquieuI can assure you that no kingdom has ever had as many civil wars as the kingdom of Christ.
About This Quote
Jesus had many enemies in his lifetime. People who wanted to kill him, steal his money and power. He was crucified twice in his life, once by the Romans in Jerusalem and again by the Jews in the city of his hometown, in Israel. Many men wanted to be king of his kingdom, but Jesus was the only one who could.
He was the only king that could not be bought or sold. His kingdom was built on love and faith; loyalty and faithfulness; hope and forgiveness. This kingdom would be worth fighting for.
