Politics in the Kingdom of God?

Politics in the Kingdom of God? Do not mix politics and government affairs with the Kingdom of God. Jesus was once asked whether it was right for Israel to pay taxes to the Roman Empire, the foreign power that had invaded and colonized them. But Jesus did not fall into the trap and said: Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God. This passage is in Luke 20:20-26. Jesus lived in a politically troubled time when his country was invaded by a foreign power that oppressed them politically, socially and economically, in addition to desecrate their religion. However, Jesus never gave a speech on such serious political issues. Also, once they wanted to make Him King, but He escaped and hid in the hills and when Pilate questioned him, He said: My Kingdom is not of this world. Jesus did not come to change governments, but to change the hearts of people. Neither He came to support a political idea or another, but to invite all tendencies to seek the Kingdom of God. Let's follow His Great Example.
