If you want to live in a spiritual echo chamber, don't let Jesus in.

Every administration makes rules and sets policies for how it wants things to run. But no matter who’s in office or which nation we’re talking about, no kingdom of earth runs like the kingdom of heaven. Join us as we see the radical and revolutionary way things work in the kingdom Jesus rules. This week we how Jesus’ kingdom practices discrimination in a way that is anti-discriminatory. On the one hand, Jesus is clear that only sinners will be welcome at his heavenly banquet. Those who find their righteousness in themselves will be shut out or thrown out. On the other hand, because sinners are the only type of people there are, the invitation to Jesus’ banquet goes out to all and the righteousness that makes us fit for his feast is available to all.
