English Sermon
12/12/2021
By: Ps. Yosia Yusuf

We were created, the world was created for God, not for us to be in control but for God to be the King. We were created to be under the kingship of God. And when we rebelled against him and took control of our lives, it is like a 5-years-old driving a Ferrari. Everything fell apart. Relationship fell apart. Creation fell apart. Our lives fell apart. But when Jesus says that the kingdom of God is at hand, it is good news because it means that the rightful king has returned. And this king will make everything right. He will restore everything that was broken. But it does not happen instantaneously. Note that Jesus says that the kingdom of God is at hand. It means that the kingdom of God is already here. And yet it is not fully here. It’s still at hand. So, when Jesus comes into the world, the era of the kingdom of God in this world begins. But the consummation of the kingdom of God is still yet to happen. It will happen when Jesus returns in the future. We are right now living in the tension between the already-not yet of the kingdom of God.
