What would my life look like if I lived every moment and made every decision in the light of Jesus being King? How would it affect my reactions when man’s rule goes awry? Would it change what I let upset me? Should Christ as King give me a calm peaceful center? Would it drive me to do all I could to extend His rule? Would I be willing to suffer rejection for going counter to the culture? Would I cry for justice in the face of injustice? Would I take the easy way and accept a private spirituality that does not really change the way I live in the world?
“One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, ‘When will the Kingdom of God come?’ Jesus replied, ‘The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.’” Luke 17:20-21 (NLT)
