LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD MAY 15, 2025
LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD MAY 15, 2025
May the Spirit of the Lord be upon you as you live in the
Kingdom of God,
Probably one of the most quoted scriptures is John3:16.
Inspired Version
“For God so loved the world,
that he gave his Only Begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth on him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.”
As you know any scripture may read differently according
to the translation you are reading from. Some say, “Believeth in,” while others
read “Believeth on.” The general consensus is that in and on mean basically the
same thing, but how many times do we get bogged down on a single word. How many
times does one word lead to war between family members, neighbors, in the
church, in a country, and in the world? It may not be just one word, but might
be one thought, one idea, one action one belief that we might misunderstand or
misinterpret and something we don’t follow up on to get the truth of the
matter.
Jesus tells us that He is the Way, the truth, and
the Life. There is no other way, truth and life! If and when we look for
and cling to some other way, truth, and life, we are obviously looking and
going in the wrong way. In John 6 Jesus was teaching about his body being the
bread of life and his blood the drink and that unless we eat his body and drink
his blood we have no life in us. Some of his own disciples could not accept
this teaching because they did not grasp the spiritual meaning and they went
away. Note that Jesus did not go running after them offering to change his
plan. He simply turned to the Twelve and asked them a point-blank question, “Will
ye also go away?”
Peter, in one of his better responses said, “Lord,
to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.” What a dynamic
answer from Peter and this was before the Resurrection! We know what he and the
other apostles did after the Resurrection. We find an interesting account
in Acts 17:1-6. You can read the whole account for yourself, but verse six ends
with this statement, “These that have turned the world upside down are come
hither also.” This was a reference to Paul and Silas and the power of God
by which they were teaching and preaching.
Do you know of anyone who has or is “Turning the world
upside down?” How about the part of the world that is your part of the kingdom
of God? It wasn’t the time Paul and Silas spent in prison, but what they did
that got them there and then what they did while they were in prison and of
course while they were “free.” We know of Paul’s conversion experience and
life of ministry, but what about Silas? Silas is mentioned only 13 times in the
Bible, the first mention being in Acts 15:22. Some of the apostles we hear a
lot about are Peter, James, John, Paul and a few others, but what about the
others? I am sure they were out there on the front lines doing God’s work just
like the ones mentioned.
So is our calling as we are living in the kingdom of God
in 2025. We don’t have to be a Big Name.” We just have to be the best
disciple we can be, 24/7, and that all with God’s help. Go back
to the scripture above and replace the word world with your name and truly
believe it.
God bless
