The fall of man, the beginning of sin and death.
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.
