Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world”? (No, actually. What he said in John 18:36 was that his kingdom was not from this world, but the text, in its misleading King James Version, was quoted endlessly to show the folly of any kind of social, cultural, or political “mission.”) New mood, new mission: now the mission would try to snatch souls from the world, not to bring the kingdom of God into the world.
