“nor will people say,
‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the
kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Luke 17:21
Why should we preach
the Gospel of the Kingdom?
Yes, I know we are
commanded to by Jesus, but why?
Why would He command
us too?
We must not forget
this: The Kingdom of God must be expanding because there is no greater Kingdom
in existence.
Knowing this to be
true why would we not want others to be a part of that Kingdom?
Of course we would.
Let me ask you this –
Is the kingdom of darkness greater or better than the Kingdom of Light?
Of course it isn’t!
What about the
kingdom of man?
Just look around and
it becomes easy to see that God’s Kingdom is far greater than anything we have
built.
As a matter of fact,
it would be selfish of us to know and believe in the Kingdom of God and not
want others to join us in it.
We have preached a
Gospel that has us getting saved by the skin of our teeth and holding out for
heaven – if we can just make it until then!
God did not send His
Son to die so that you and I might just squeak through the pearly gates.
Jesus said that He
came to give us abundant life and He wasn’t just talking about later.
We have lived so far
below the inheritance purchased for us.
The Gospel of the
Kingdom is a message of full, victorious, abundant life NOW and for eternity.
We must stop holding
out for the ‘someday’ and begin to walk in the fullness of life that is ours
now in the Kingdom of God.
Are you walking in
Kingdom life today?
