The world wants to restrict Jesus to your private spiritual life. Sadly we have capitulated. The world is fine with that. It does not want His kingdom teachings messing up their lives and values. Jesus wants to bring all things under the dominion of God as the true King of the world. Nothing is left out of God’s domain. Relationships. Sex. Ecology. Pleasure. Money. Time. Corporations. Business. Legislation. Judicial. Executive. We are accountable to Him for all of these because Jesus is King of everything.
“The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.” Psalms 97:1, 5 (NRSV)
From “The Master’s Table” by H. Lamar Smith
