Transcript: Jesus Notice anything on the crucifix? Pilate said to Jesus,"Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?" Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world.If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here." So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

God's central plan of salvation to the human race due to original sin/fallen state. Gen 3:15 ""I will make you enemies of each other; you and the woman, your offspring and her offspring. It will crush your head and you will strike its heel". Parousia Salvation is not complete in us until Jesus comes to take us to the place He has prepared for us (cf.
