Just a reminder during this Christmas season… When the “Kingdom of Heaven” broke into time and space and invaded the “world stage” in the person of Jesus Christ, it didn’t happen in a “religious capitol” – Jerusalem, or the powerful political center of the time, Rome… instead the “King of kings and Lord of lords” came in a humble stable (there was no room elsewhere) in a little “insignificant” town (check out Micah 5:2 and Matthew 2:3-6)… He was “the Bethlehem babe” …
Nothing really has changed… The Messiah’s presence and the revelation of the “Lord of all” comes to the humble, the seemingly insignificant and those receptive by faith (check out 1 Corinthians 1:18-31)… “The Kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15ff)
