The Daily Word of Righteousness
A Description of the Kingdom of God
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)
The Kingdom of God (of Heaven) is God in Christ in the saints governing the creation of God.
The Kingdom of God is the eternal union of the Person and Life of God with all that is found worthy in the material realm. The Person and Life of God provide the government, life, righteousness, holiness, love, joy, peace, significance, wonder, and glory of the Kingdom. The people, creatures, and things of the material creation provide the substance and visible form of the Kingdom.
The Kingdom is the word made flesh. It is the eternal union of Heaven and earth. It is not a place in Heaven or on the earth. It is the blending, the merging, the intersecting of Heaven and earth. The Kingdom "cometh not with observation." It is in us when we are new creatures in Christ. Yet the Kingdom does have a visible, external dimension.
The Kingdom of God has character, life, and a material form, as a person has a soul, spirit, and body. God Himself possesses a Soul, a Spirit, and, in Jesus, a material Form.
The Lord Jesus is the Logos, the Expression of God. Jesus Christ, who is the word, the Logos, has a glorified material Form. His Form can be seen. The Logos has become flesh. The saints, the members of the Body of Christ, are being created an integral part of the Logos. We are being brought into eternal union with Jesus in spirit and in soul, and finally will be like Him in form. We then shall be the Kingdom of God.
All persons who are saved, all the things, and all the circumstances of the universe will reveal to some degree Christ, the Logos of God. Christ will be central in the creation. Through Christ, God will become All in all.
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (Ephesians 1:10)
The result of the rule of the Kingdom of God in the earth will be to make the Lord Jesus the Center and Circumference of everything.
Through the discipline of a cross-carrying life our souls are being brought into union with the Soul of God so that our will and God's will are becoming one will. When our will becomes one with the will of God we enter the greatest freedom and joy possible for a human being to experience.
The Spirit of God is the Spirit of the Kingdom of God. Our spirit is being made one with the Spirit of God so that we are one Spirit with God (I Corinthians 6:17).
The Lord Jesus is the fullness of the expression of God, and His glorified body is the beginning of the material form of the Kingdom of God. The members of the Body of Christ, the Wife of the Lamb, are being created an eternal part of the expression of God, of the revelation of God to His creatures. Through union with Christ we are becoming part of the Logos. When we receive glorified bodies the form of the Kingdom of God will be enlarged through us.
To be continued.
