The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part Twoનમૂનો

Daily Reflection: After the transfiguration experience, some of the disciples ask Jesus what it means that Elijah was to come before him. Jesus assures them that “Elijah had come” (see John 1:21 & Luke 1:16-17). Who played this role as the predecessor to Jesus? John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus to begin his earthly ministry and therefore played a pivotal prophetic role in his mission. Unfortunately, John the Baptist’s fate was sealed on this side of the New Heaven and the New Earth, but this was always prophesied to play out this particular way. In other words, Jesus is the Messiah who is fulfilling prophecy that will result in the reconciliation of his kingdom family.

Daily Demonstration: Take today to give gratitude to God for the amazing gift of Jesus Christ. His fulfillment of prophecy allowed a way for the kingdom of God to open its arms to God’s family once again and begin the process toward an eternal New Eden. Take hope today, for we will live in God’s kingdom in perfect harmony into eternity.
