The Kingdom Perspective

If you embrace all those kingdom value things that jesus is talking about, but you still embrace the world kingdom assumptions about the unfolding of time and how the story works, then you're not really in on the kingdom stuff. It doesn't look to me like what we're get in matthew 24 is a whole bunch of do this or do that to steer history in a certain direction. Jesus seems to be pulling the curtain back just enough to be like no. Part of living with tha kingdom perspective is knowing that there is more realization to this kingdom yet to come. And so i'm optimistic we can gtit, and we'll work on it more.
