John 18:36, "If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews."
Jesus told Peter not to fight in the garden and we know from the rest of the story that it really through Peter off his game. In this verse, He said that his followers were not going to fight because His Kingdom was not of this world.
We "do not wrestle against flesh and blood", but every Christian sometimes feels like we have to defend Jesus. I have never liked the word apologetics because it sounds like we are apologizing for our beliefs. It comes from the defense standpoint.
Jesus does not need us to defend Him, but to proclaim Him! Let's not argue with people, instead love people and proclaim Jesus.
