“Jesus came preaching the Kingdom, what arrived was the church” — Alfred Loisy
The proclamation of the Kingdom of God was the purpose of Jesus. Every breath of Jesus earthly existence was used to espouse the message of his Father’s Kingdom. He was the “Word” of the Kingdom. It is why he came. Jesus Christ preached the Kingdom of God, incarnated it and died for it.
When The Word came among us his message was clear; the time has come, the Kingdom of God is here. Jesus in his own words to his followers said; I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to other towns also, because that is why I was sent"! So, when you read the words of Jesus, search for the meaning of his parables or the truth in his sermons, don’t think church dogma, rigid religious duty or what you must do to be saved, instead Think Kingdom!
This is the purpose of my website; restoration of the original message of Jesus, a challenge to “Think Kingdom”. Kingdom thinking will be encouraged through articles, teaching, books I have written and recommended books from our “Bookshelf”. You are invited to join the conversation through our feedback page and blog.
In conversation with his disciples, recorded in Matthew 24, Jesus says; “And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come”.
— Jesus; Matthew 24.14
What end will come? The end of the Kingdom’s of this world becoming the Kingdom of our God. It is the fulfillment of the sounding of the trumpet of the seventh angel in the Revelation of Jesus Christ; “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever”. — Revelation 11:15
The dream of Jesus Christ is the Kingdom of God, and the committed Christian buys into his dream
— Brennan Manning, A Glimpse of Jesus
This is my commitment. This is my purpose.
