Thy Kingdom Come - 26 March 2023
from Welcome Home Hosted by Bryan Niebanck
Part 3 of The Lord's Prayer Series What are you asking for when you are asking for God’s kingdom to come? “Our prayer is not simply for the end of history as we know it, but that we might experience a taste of these things here and now. And not only that we will experience a foretaste of the final kingdom, but that we might be a part of bringing that kingdom near” (Hamilton, 37). Whether you are a wolf or a lamb, what can you do to lie down with your neighbor? What can you do to promote a peaceful world, even if only in your little corner of it? First, ask God to penetrate every part of you with the love that is His kingdom. Second, may you seek God more than you seek your own good. And third, do your part to lie down with, and not to harm, your neighbors in this world. Be a part of bringing God’s kingdom to earth. God is sovereign, but we need to treat Him as such. He turns our wearied bones into new life; God also turns a wearied world into a new creation.
