The Kingdom of God: Matthew 4:17-25 & 5:1-2Senior Pastor Alex KennedyWhen the book of Malachi ends in the Old Testament, the Persian Empire is reigning. Between the time of Malachi and Matthew, there are 400 years of prophetic silence. We know God is still working, but we don't hear from a prophetic voice until we hear John the Baptist say, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near." At this time, the Jewish nation is under the rule of the Romans. They want a military king to come and rescue them from the oppression of the Roman Empire. It is at exactly this moment that Jesus steps into His earthly ministry.
For generations, Jews anticipated this special deliverer, the Anointed One of God, who would liberate God's people from oppression and set up His kingdom.
The book of Matthew, who was very Jewish, emphasizes what Jesus said to show the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy of the Anointed One.
In Jesus' formal Sermon on the Mount, Jesus continues the trail of the Kingdom when He says in Matthew 4:17, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
The Kingdom can be defined as the sovereign and comprehensive rule of God over all of His creation. Jesus tells us how someone can be a part of His Kingdom in John 3:5 by saying, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. In other words, everyone is welcome into the Kingdom, but only those that confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord will enter into His kingdom.
Again, we are all born in sin, so we are in born into a kingdom of darkness. If we confess Christ as Lord, we are transferred to a kingdom of light.
The church is not the kingdom; it is in the kingdom.
Kingdoms have kings, and our King is Jesus! We serve a king that reigns forever, and He doesn't change. He is always good, kind, faithful, just, and loving. He is worthy of our devotion to Him.
When Jesus talks about His Kingdom in the Sermon on the Mount, He gives an impossible mandate. We only get in by grace, and we are forever secured by His grace. He consistently takes the kingdom from "there" to "here".
Questions to Consider:

See your calling/vocation as sacred. You are an ambassador for Christ in His Kingdom. How does that thought cause you to think about your work?
Spend this week reading and meditating on the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12. Allow the Word of God to shape your heart and your mind to think more like Jesus and less like the world.
