THE BIBLE IS: Thy Kingdom Com(ing)
If the Bible is a message for us, then what IS that message? The Gospels of Jesus Christ are placed at the CENTER of the Bible, and they reveal how the Son of God became the new Adam and the new Israel to fulfill what Adam and Israel could not. The Gospels tell us WHEN and HOW Christ came, and right away Matthew introduces us to the King. This King does not look like any other king the world has ever seen … Why do you think that is? Jesus speaks of our TREASURE not on earth, but in heaven. His promise is an unbreakable CONTRACT, called a Covenant. His body is the BREAD of Life and His provision is MEASURED out for the salvation of every believer. We are His Holy Temple, the messengers of GOOD NEWS. Later in the four Gospels, John reveals a fourth dimension of ART-filled POETIC writing that elevates our understanding of this compassionate Son Of GOD in the flesh. In list-form, the state-run district-defined literacy skills look an awful lot like biblical-defined literacy skills – LISTS & MAPS, MONEY & CONTRACTS, NUTRITION & MEASUREMENT, ART & MUSIC, HOW-TO FIX-IT INSTRUCTIONS & “NEWS” MESSAGING. Could it be these institutions of knowledge and learning are not as progressive as modern elites claim them to be? After all, this story has been around for Millennia. There can only be one male lion in a kingdom. King Jesus first came to redeem us as a ransom for many from the counterfeit king. The Good News is that the REAL King paid off our debt to the FAKE king. It has been done! Our sins of indebtedness are forgiven. This is WHY Jesus came as a servant the first time SO THAT when He comes as King of His heavenly kingdom the second time we are not denied entry, but we are ushered in with all our sins washed clean by the blood of Jesus. The time is NOW to choose life with King Jesus or death with His counterfeit.
