Jesus’ reign is actually not of this world (John 18:36). For the grandeur of his kingdom just isn’t energy as outlined by this world however the love of God, a love able to encountering and therapeutic all issues. Christ humbled himself to us out of this love. He lived our human distress; he suffered the bottom level of our human situation: injustice, betrayal, abandonment. He skilled loss of life, the tomb, and hell.
Our King went to the ends of the universe to embrace and save each residing being. He didn’t condemn us, nor did he conquer us, and he by no means disregarded our freedom. As a substitute, he paved the best way with a humble love that forgives all issues, hopes all issues, and sustains all issues (1 Corinthians 13:7). This love alone overcame and continues to beat our worst enemies: sin, loss of life, and concern.
