Christ’s Kingdom Mission

 Isaiah 15-18; Hebrews 10

“In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it – one from the house of David – one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness…All you people of the world, you who live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and when a trumpet sounds, you will hear it.”

Isaiah 16:5; 18:3

The kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ to which he has called his followers to seek first and before all else, is founded on love, faithfulness, justice, and righteousness. These qualities define all interactions and priorities in Christ’s kingdom. Christ’s Gospel and name form the banner we raise in obedience to the Holy Spirit’s leading and empowerment; all peoples are now seeing it. When the banner of Christ is higher than our denominations, organizational identities, or personal agendas, people’s lives are transformed. It is Christ’s banner and Christ’s trumpet which rally and call out his followers from among the nations.

Have we joined Jesus on his kingdom mission, or are we still promoting our own?

“Lord Jesus, your mission is worthy of all I am and have, for your glory.”
