Home Church Video ~ The Disciples’ Prayer ~ Part 4 ~ “Your Kingdom Come”
Whoever believes in and trust Jesus
receives what is called “the gospel of
the kingdom”.[1]
Through this gospel we are delivered out of the domain of darkness and
transferred into the kingdom of God’s Son in whom there is redemption, the
forgiveness of sins.[2]
We are told that, “the kingdom of God is
not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in
the Holy Spirit.”[3]
In fact, we are even told that God who “loves us and has freed us from our sins by
his blood” has “made us a kingdom,
priests to his God and Father”.[4]
This means that we ourselves who have come into this kingdom are this kingdom.
The question is, with all the things we are
taught to think and believe about the kingdom of our heavenly Father, what do
we mean when we pray, “your kingdom come”?
In this home church video, we attempt to
show what we are asking for with this request, and what it would look like for
us to join God in his answers. May you be blessed to join us in such prayer,
and in making every effort to join God wherever he is working.
