Jesus taught so many times about the kingdom of God. We sing the Lord's prayer each day, "Your kingdom come." But I am so much away from the main teaching of Jesus. I am so foolish and so blind that I have a tendency to ignore 31 times of Jesus' teaching.
Wow. Am I blind and so much earth bound that I study the Bible and miss the main point? This week, God spoke me through Luke's gospel 24:25-27.
Luke 24: 25He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" 27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
I am a fool but God has hope on me. and bring me to his kingdom. Not me but everyone. Jesus wants to bring everyone to his kingdom.
God reminded me that
- We are made in the image of God.
- We are made to live in the kingdom of God. We lived in God's garden which is the kingdom of God.
- Because of our sins, we cannot live in God's kingdom.
- So Jesus came to bring us to his kingdom. Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead so that our sins can be forgiven and we can stand before the holy God.
- After he was rose from the dead, Jesus went up to the kingdom of God
- Jesus is coming back and bring his kingdom to us
I am made to live under the kingship of our Lord Jesus.
We must pray that while we read the Bible, we must not miss the main point. Pray that God may open my heart to see the reality of the kingdom of God.
