If Your Eye is Bad

Money represents success and power within the kingdom of darkness.

But in the kingdom of Jesus Christ it’s not much of a thing at all. Take it or leave it.

Jesus doesn’t use it to reach people. And he doesn’t teach us to use it to reach people.

We just wish and pretend he does, because we love its power.

The best attitude to have about money is a take or leave it attitude that is very generous for the poor around us.

If the wealthy Christians in the west would give more to the poor around us, and less on fancy buildings and expensive church shows maybe the poor among us would stop harassing the country with this constant push for govt-based socialism.

“But if your eye is bad (after money) your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”

Matthew 6:23

“I Am The Door” (out) Part 2

Jesus said “I am the door”

The way to walk through the door is to follow after him, to seek him constantly every morning.

Doors have no real value unless we walk through them.

To walk through Jesus is also to leave Satan’s dark kingdom of evil.

It’s no use staying in Satan’s kingdom and saying to everyone “look, all is evil, all is darkness”, even if that’s true. Without also opening the door out for them.

Walk through Jesus, then turn around so you can see Satan’s kingdom clearly.

If we can, if we will do that we can see clearly all that is not of Jesus. And we may be very surprised to see it might include what we we’ve always said “that’s the church.”

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.
