The Unexpected Postponement
While Israel’s widespread rejection of King Jesus resulted in a postponement of the earthly kingdom, we should remain confident in God’s impeccable promises as we work and patiently await the King’s second coming.
Luke
Guarding Against His Usurpers
We must be vigilant and careful to not follow the trends of so many who attempt to leverage Christianity for their own selfish ends.
Admiring God’s Dynastic Plan
We must understand and appreciate the full humanity and the full deity of Christ as we admire his redemptive work and anticipate his coming kingdom.
Anticipating His Eternal Kingdom
We must think more often and more sensibly about our own mortality, preparing and shaping our expectation and hope by Scripture and not by the world, our feelings, or the culture.
Living as His Expatriates
We must seek to honor God by honoring and submitting to the earthly authorities he has placed over our lives, while being careful to never resist or defy Christ’s ultimate authority.
Fearing the Cost of Insurrection
It is entirely reasonable for us to trust and obey the words of the Triune God, not only in light of his character and authority, but also in view of the judgments meted out on those who rebel.
