Your Kingdom Come

"Pilate summoned Jesus and asked Him, 'Are you king of the Jews?'
Jesus said, 'My kingdom is not of this world, my kingdom is from
another place'." (JOHN 18:33, 36)
Scripture Focus: Matthew 6:9-13, John 18:29-38

During His ministry Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is near. Repent
and believe the good news" (Mark 1:15) When Jesus comes again at the
close of this age, He will set up His physical, earthly kingdom here.
But for now, His kingdom is spiritual, made up of all who repent and
believe that Jesus' death on the cross frees them from sin.

Jesus, righteous King of kings and Lord of lords, will rule supreme.
He will establish His complete love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (see Galatians
5:22-23) in the new earth. Kings rule over their subjects. But the
Bible says our Righteous King does not consider us subjects but
friends and family.

Today, as kingdom people, we are freed from the chains of sin. Jesus
helps us overcome our deadly enemy. This doesn't mean that we won't
experience difficulties in this life. It does mean that Kingdom people
will never experience God's wrath. Jesus already endured that at the
cross for us.

Insight: As Kingdom People When We Pray "Your Kingdom Come," We Are
Asking Jesus To Rule In Our Hearts And Minds Today.
