Stability.
People like stability. It’s not that we don’t like change – honest. Some change we welcome with open arms. Yet as long as there’s stability it makes things alright.
What is offered with Jesus ruling from the throne forever is not just stability – it is something that expresses itself in full righteousness. It is as thought the nightmares of sin, the chaos and mayhem of self-rule, the tragedies of shame, fear and guilt, the damage they cause can be forever overturned by the eternal rule of God in Jesus Christ.
The rule that never ends means that administrations will come and go, world powers will rise and fall, all of them making a claim to be dominant, all of them failing. Personal circumstances can appear to dominate, but in the light of the rule of Christ even they must fail.
It does not impose itself through force – yet it remains inevitable, irresistible and the expression of how life was always meant to be.
That’s good news for those who embrace the Kingdom.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
