“‘I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.'” Mark 10:15 (NIV)
What is the Kingdom of God? God’s people on mission with God to fulfill God’s purposes on earth! Where is the Kingdom of God? Wherever Jesus is King! Is Jesus King of your heart? Is Jesus King of your home? Is Jesus King of your church? Is Jesus King of your work?
Our tendency is to live segmented lives. We have our personal life, our home life, our church life, and our work life. Often believers express their faith through personal devotion to the Lord and through public worship at church. Why do we conceal our faith at home or at work? Why do we segment our Christianity as though we can only express our faith in our personal life and church life?
We come into the Kingdom of God by simple childlike faith in the completed work of Jesus on the cross. The Kingdom of God is wherever Jesus is King. What if we allowed Jesus to be King in our heart, home, church, and work? What if we allowed our relationship with Jesus to be evidenced in every domain of life. Instead of concealing our Christianity, let’s reveal our love relationship with Jesus 24.7.365 in every area of life.
Pursuing God,
