Introduction
Text
Big Idea
If the believer is going to believe and follow Jesus, the believer needs to live within the Kingdom of God.
The kingdom of God is the central message Jesus teaches.
The Kingdom of God is Real
Jesus preached and taught about the Kingdom.
Over seventy-five times (over a hundred if counting parallels) the Kingdom is addressed by Jesus.
Jesus used different teaching methods to convey the truth and reality of the Kingdom.
Poetry (parallelism—synonyms, antithetic, steps, chiastic; over 200 examples).
Proverbs (general principles/not absolutes).
Exaggeration (overstatement or hyperbole)
Parables (often utilizes comparisons).
The Kingdom of God refers to the rule (reign of God).
It is different that the church (the people of God).
Jesus taught that the kingdom is a present reality (the Kingdom is at hand) AND a future hope.
In other words, The kingdom can be defined as God’s final, decisive exercising of his sovereign reign, which was inaugurated during Jesus’s ministry and will be consummated at his return.
Therefore, it is essential for the believer to recognize the authority of God (His Kingdom Rule).
The Believer Lives in the Context of the Kingdom of God
Jesus teaches us to live and experience the rule of God in our lives.
Jesus came not only in fulfillment of promises of the Davidic king who would rule over Israel and the nations, he also came as a prophet who is greater than Moses (Deut.
18:18).
In that role, he taught how kingdom citizens should conduct themselves.
Studying and applying the teachings of Jesus to our lives is a life-long journey, filled with hope and challenges.
Learning what Jesus ment and how He wants us to apply His teachings takes work!
First, we need to be aware of what literary types Jesus is using, especially exaggerations.
Second, not all of Jesus’ teachings requires a universal application (i.e.
rich young ruler).
Third, we must seek to understand the original intent of Jesus.
Avoid reading into the teaching your own modern experiences.
(poor (economic) and poor in spirit (dependence on God).
Why is living the kingdom truth so important!
Kingdom living is all about orienting our lives to that of Jesus Christ—and from the outflow of our relationship with Him, we do His will.
It is about being and doing.
Jesus is Lord of the Kingdom of God
