Jesus is Everything | Jesus is King
Matthew 6:9-10
Genesis 1:28
THE problem underneath all other problems in the universe is that creation is out of sync with the rule and reign of God.
Psalm 10:16, 29:10, 47:2, 74:12, 95:3 // Deuteronomy 33:5 // Isaiah 43:15
Matthew 1:1 // Isaiah 9:2, 6-7
The hope of the gospel is not only ‘individualistic’ in that Jesus came to save us from our sin, it is ‘cosmic’- Jesus came to make ALL things new!
Ephesians 1:16-23 // Revelation 21:1-6
“Many Christians today think of salvation as leaving earth for heaven, but the story of Scripture is quite the opposite. The message of the kingdom of God is not an escape from earth to heaven but God’s reign coming down from heaven to earth. The focus of God’s reign is his people, but the scope of God’s reign is all of creation.” — Jeremy Treat
1 Corinthians 2:9
We live in light of Jesus’ Kingship not only by seeking to live in moral righteousness (the ethics of the Kingdom) but by living on mission (heralding the message of the Kingdom!)
Colossians 1:13-14 // 1 Peter 2:9 // Revelation 22:17
