    The Kingdom: A Prequel – Part 3

    The Kingdom: A Prequel – Part 3

    For the law-keeping Jew, God was the fearsome, mountain-shaking Yahweh of history. To the wayward Jew, He was the all-patient One. To the forsaken Jew, God was the friend that sticks closer than a brother. To the beleaguered Jew, God was the Faithful and Holy One speaking through His prophets, promising punishment along with restoration and peace. To the Jew of Jesus’ day, the much-anticipated, prophesied promise of God spoke of a Messiah who would reign terror and vengeance and crushing defeat on their enemy, Rome, and in the process, restore Israel’s rightful sovereignty.

    The Kingdom: A Prequel – Part 2

    The Kingdom: A Prequel – Part 2

    With the terrifyingly majestic encounter with Divine Glory still thundering in our ears from the base of Mount Sinai, we now race ahead four Centuries to ca. 1000 BC, to King David and his outpourings of love and gratitude for a very different aspect of one and the same God. He moves us from the meta-narrative to the micro-narrative, from Creation’s resplendence to acknowledging God as the Lover of his soul. David says, in Psalm 8: “I know you are the fascinating artist who fashioned it all! But when I look up and see such wonder and workmanship above, I have to ask you this question: Compared to all this cosmic glory, why would you bother with puny mortal man or be infatuated with Adam’s sons?” (TPT).

    The Kingdom: A Prequel – Part 1

    The dizzying reality that we are now people of the Kingdom, joint heirs with Christ of the beauty and the bounty of God, continues to be a mystery we are called to embrace. We see all that Jesus modeled, all that he taught, all that he did to introduce the Kingdom. But what went before? What foretastes were given to help prepare undeserving hearts to receive the glories of such an inheritance? Well, in a way, the entire Old Testament story is a Kingdom primer, with repeated glimpses of power and glory and authority totally other, totally mesmerizing, totally sublime.

    A Kingdom Unshakeable

    A Kingdom Unshakeable

    Since our adoption into the Kingdom of God, our lives have become an integral part of the Meta-Narrative, the over-arching Love Story that is found from Genesis to Revelation. We are the Beloved, the Church of the Living God, the Bride of Christ. There are multiple micro-narratives that abound, spinning out from innumerable, ceaseless sources, narratives which toll doom and despair, dystopian narratives without glimmer of light or hope, essays trafficking in fear and anxiety. But, Praise God!, we do not look to these for truth. Our hope, our confidence, is in the invincible Kingdom of God, full of Light and Truth in the face of Jesus.

    Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established,
    that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

    Kingdom Light

    Kingdom Light

    The Kingdom of God and light are inseparable. In John’s Revelation of the New Jerusalem, he saw: “The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.” (Revelation 21:23) and: “Night will be no more. They will never need the light of the sun or a lamp, because the Lord God will shine on them.” (Revelation 22:5). Later, in his Gospel account, John records Jesus saying: “While I am with you, it is daytime and we must do the works of God who sent me while the light shines. For there is coming a dark night when no one will be able to work. As long as I am with you my life is the light that pierces the world’s darkness.” (John 9:4-5).
