Joh_18:36 Jesus answered, MY KINGDOM is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is MY KINGDOM not from hence.
Amazing words, words we need to comprehend.
Jesus came to preach His kingdom to us, the way to His kingdom and that kingdom is NOT this world.
So many believe this world is everything, they make this world their everything. But it isn't the Kingdom that Jesus came to preach. Our Savior came to SAVE us from this world!
Jesus wants us to preach His kingdom, and His kingdom is NOT of this world!
So, if we are preaching this world, then we aren't preaching the kingdom.
It's not ludicrous to believe that we should be preaching life eternal in the face of life now.
None of us know when we will die, not a single one of us! Even suicides aren't guaranteed death, ask all of those who thought they were taking their lives but lived to tell about it, there are quite a few of them.
We do not know how long we have to spend on this world. Yet so many of us act as if it is all that matters.
What matters on this world is how we live for the kingdom of our Savior.
Our Savior wants us to love Him so we CAN love others!
We can't love others without loving Him, not really, not truly, not with the love that only comes from our Creator, our Redeemer. We can manufacture an idea of love but it has no truth in it if it is not of God, none. It's a lie that feels good, looks good, seems good, in fact it could be a lie that is wonderful and seems to be very genuine. The counterfeit is always amazingly, unbelievably close to the original, that's how it deceives people.
Counterfeit love.
We don't like to imagine there is such a thing, but it exists. In every loving atheist who swears there is no God, it exists. In every person who claims a false religion, it exists.
The truth is out there for us, our Savior made the whole truth available to us, He didn't hide it!
We will NOT be able to claim that the truth was hidden from us, He'll be able to show us every single opportunity we passed up to know the truth. We cannot LIE to GOD! He knows! HE KNOWS!
Any love that is NOT of GOD is NOT LOVE!
Hard for us to believe when we realize that there are so many people who are incredibly loving in their actions, their words, their lives that they are using counterfeit love.
Is it our job to expose them, NO.
We cannot JUDGE anyone!
It is our job to expose only the TRUTH! And when that truth is exposed the Holy Spirit alone will convict the hearts that seek the Lord our Savior and TRUE LOVE.
Please LORD, bless us!
Keep us in YOU, keep us in YOUR TRUTH!
Keep us in YOUR LOVE!
By YOUR GRACE!
