When the new year found us on the calendar, many of us made a
resolution to… shrink. We wanted to drop a few pounds and
lose a few inches. The holidays brought meals, sweets and treats
and the bathroom scale told us that we celebrated well. Getting
smaller is an annual hope for many of us each January. There is
another kind of shrinkage that is taking place in the Church. We
have been prone to shrink down our understanding of the Kingdom of
God. There is something inside each Christian that tends to reduce
the Kingdom down to something that resembles us, our tribe, our
church, our denomination or even our political and cultural views.
God wants us to remove our grubby little hands off of His Kingdom
and to welcome it to remain all that He ordained it to be.
In this episode, Jeff helps us to understand how easily we all can
take what is immeasurable in the Kingdom and unwisely, even
sinfully, shrink it down to suit our own tastes. As we approach the
end of the age, Jesus is not going to return to endorse our own
version of the Kingdom. He is presently shaking all that can be
shaking so that only what cannot be shaken will remain. What
remains will inevitably be the Kingdom that He has designed since
before time began. This is the Kingdom view that He will endorse,
advance and manifest through us.
