The Door Out

“So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.”

John 10:7-9 ESV

Jesus Christ is the door into heaven yes but just as importantly to us he is the door out of Satan’s kingdom of darkness which currently is on earth.

The kingdom we are all born into, which is so DEPRESSING and hopeless.

If we are becoming one with the kingdom of darkness we fight for it, want to make it ours, try to control it by throwing our money around or through our politicians. Make it better, without first coming to terms with its king.

But it is NOT ours, it is Satan’s, and we cannot handle him on our terms.

We need to first and forever spiritually leave his kingdom and be transferred into the kingdom of Jesus Christ, then we can bring HIS kingdom here through utter and complete surrender to him … yielding until the point of death.

Daddy-Issues Theology

In Christ, the opposite of legalism is not brazen, in-your-face worldliness (libertinism).

And the opposite of sinful worldliness (libertinism) is not legalism.

Jesus Christ is the opposite of both.

He’s not a legalist and doesn’t boast about that with new found worldliness.

He’s not a boastful sinner and doesn’t display that by acting like a strict legalistic.

I’ve noticed in some church circles each generation takes turns being opposite of the one before.

It’s like a daddy-issues theology. “I am mad at daddy, I haven’t gotten over it, (because I am led primarily by emotion). So I’m going to rebel and be opposite of him.”

It is not at all like this in Jesus Christ.

What the Kingdom of Jesus is like

The kingdom Jesus is like a federal agency called NASA. Equipped with many billions of dollars, many scientists, engineers, managers, and spokespeople. With the full support of their government and the people all with ONE shared mission.

Like federal agencies there is an spiritual agency of the kingdom of Jesus called the ecclesia. It is the body of Jesus Christ and it has one glorious mission. A mission with limitless resources from its king. This mission is alluded to in Ephesians 1.

ESV verse 10 reads to unite all things in him, NASB reads the summing up of all things in Christ, NIV says to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ

Jesus Christ has a gathering together in one, a unification of all things, a bringing of unity to all things, and a summing up of all things in himself ministry. And this ministry has been delegated to his followers, his body in the earth.

One of the primary ministries of the church is to gather together, to sum up, to comprehend and to explain all things according to Jesus Christ. That is our ministry, that is our mission, that is our vocation.

We are like a federal agency for him, by him, about him and loyal to him.

The kingdom of Jesus is not like a loose collection of competitive religious shows who compete for the same few audience members. It’s not at all like a show or a intellectual religious lecture. Its not like a performance and an audience.

The kingdom of Jesus is like federal agency of Jesus Christ, which displays and explains to all of creation the magnitude, and the importance of the king over all things, Jesus Christ. Explaining and displaying how everything in all of creation revolves around, and is defined by, the true king.
