kingdom thinking 003

To get healing going, we first need to understand the main purposes of God. Otherwise we can't trust him in what he's trying to do?

Going back to the other day and we were listing all the great good bits of Eden life. The blueprint of Eden looks fab....then there was the fall and things got terrible. Now we live in a mess of broken relationships and distrust and ill health and self-seeking and ignorance of God and insensitivity to him and to each other etc, etc, etc!

But, and here's the first bit of good news, at the end of time Jesus will come back and there will be no more mourning and no more sickness and no more tears. In other words, this is Eden restored. This is god's original blueprint reconstructed. Wonderful!

And Eden is at the start of the bible and the New Jerusalem, Eden restored, is at the end. Everything else and the cross is in-between these two. Jesus warns us not to get too clever about all this kingdom stuff but to look at it like little children or we'll miss it!

So here's that kid's-eye view – God's main purposes are to get us from Genesis to Revelation. His main purposes, his fundamental driving wisdom, is to see his blueprint working the way he intended it. His big idea is to get us out of this mess, to get us from the fall back to the kingdom.

And wow! In his grace, out of his grace, he says we don't have to wait till the end of time! He sends Jesus. Can't wait to write the next bit! Every blessing – Mike
