Jesus establishes his kingdom by rebelling against the rule of law.

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 see that Jesus’ kingdom disrupts our sense of law and order. In worldly kingdoms, outward compliance to the law is usually good enough. Jesus, however, isn’t interested in outward compliance. He wants more than lip service from his subjects. He wants true repentance in our inmost hearts. When he works that repentance in us, however, our disobedience to his commands is forgiven. No matter what sinful ways we have walked, those who turn to him will live.
