• You would agree with me that we live in a broken world, if you just look at the news, you’ll see the conflict of war between kingdom and kingdom territory and territory even in our home country you see the injustice

you see the violence you see racism, nation against nation, it’s really a kingdom of man mentality.

• But the reality of this is that this kingdom on this earth wasn’t always like this for, God who created all things He created this kingdom perfect in harmony, because He had full dominion as King over his Creation.

He made man to have dominion and to reign with Him as a delegate on this earth you see.

• But, man was deceived into thinking that he could do it his own way and through this horrible turning from God’s ways it brought separation from man and God and through his turning from God he introduced sin and death Upon all humanity,

What he did was he turned from God bringing sin and death and now we see the outcome of that through the brokenness of this system on this earth and now we’re living in this kingdom where it’s full of darkness and injustice.

• In the midst of this brokenness, we all long for this perfection and this purity, though, we don’t know what it is, we long for it in the midst of that we found

We try to find our own ways out to escape and through that

• We might go to education to receive more knowledge thinking we’ll find peace there

or our career through success and thinking we’ll find peace there

Or escape through relationship or any form of pleasure, with drugs or drinking whatever it is to make us feel good in this broken world

• But, the reality is that everything that we try to do in our own understanding and our own strength will always bring us back and snap us back into the brokenness of this world and this kingdom because we cannot do this through our own understanding it is broken, it is flawed.

Now though God is just and righteous, separating righteousness from

unrighteousness from the very beginning. God made a promise through His mercy and desire to be one with Hs creation He made a promise that he would restore this broken kingdom back to a kingdom of righteousness and purity, and that He would do this restoration through a man, and this man would come to remove the curse of sin and death and this man, is His son Jesus.

• Jesus came to remove the curse of sin and death by becoming a curse, tasting of death, His death which He freely gave though He died unrighteously it was the exact payment that destroyed the works of sin and death.

They buried him, and on the third day He rose from the dead. This is proof by God that this man would bring all things back into restoration into a restored state, when He rose again

He was crowned king, king over all, and now He sits on the right hand of the Father in power and authority.

• Waiting for that day when He’ll come to restore this broken world back to its perfect state and now that we’re waiting

for that day all those that are in this broken world, if they will turn from their own understanding and they’ll turn from their own ways,

 to the ways of king Jesus, through repentance and baptism, swearing allegiance to Him their whole life

they will come into that place where sin and death is removed, so that they can live in harmony, even now!

• Until the return of king Jesus, while we wait for that beautiful day, we are commanded to go back into the broken world, as delegates now, as ambassadors of the coming kingdom, to proclaim the coming kingdom of God into this broken kingdom here

and snatch them out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the son, King Jesus

• We’ve been given that ministry and all those who come and swear allegiance to King Jesus, if they endure unto the end

they will be saved from that coming first purification into a restoration

to reign with King Jesus forevermore

This is the gospel of the kingdom
