This Kingdom is for You (Luke 7:24-35)

Living Vertizontal by The Church at Riverstone

Episode notes

In this episode we remain in the seventh chapter of Luke, exploring Luke 7:24-35. In this passage, Jesus continues to speak about John the Baptist and call out the fickle nature of so many of those gathering. Together we discuss the implications of this upside down kingdom that Jesus introduced. Within Jesus’ kingdom, all are lifted up, positions disappear, and justice reigns. In Jesus’ kingdom, we are invited to set aside our expectations of others, and see them for who they were created to be, rather than what they have been defined as by the world. We are invited to see people right, rather than set people right.
