As this week ahead unfolds, remember: “SURRENDING OUR LITTLE KINGDOMS” News of the Lordship of Christ is good news only for those who recognize Jesus as the Son of God who came not to impose arbitrary limits on our tottering, little kingdoms of prestige and power but to offer a wholly new dimension of life in God and life with God. To welcome Christ into our lives, to surrender our lives to Him, will lead us to the ultimate discovery that we can let go of our little, selfish kingdoms because we are given in Christ a share of a greater kingdom where love and grace are the governing principles. That’s the kind of kingdom we long for, isn’t it? |
