When you watch the news, there is so much bad news about other nations, nations at war, nations of starving people, nations dealing with injustice. The same is true even in this country! It can actually get frightening hearing of all the terrible things that are happening or might happen! The good news is that God’s kingdom is unshakable. Hebrews 12:28 tells us “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.”
In Luke 17, Jesus talks about the kingdom. The people of this time had such great misconceptions of it. God’s kingdom is made up of imperfect humans (of all nationalities!) who are striving to follow Jesus! Yet, God can work powerfully through us.
Thought Question:
What is one way that I can shift my focus from all the bad news to the good news of “Christ living in me” this week?
