In the Lord's Prayer in Matthew chapter 6 verse 10, Jesus says three very important words that we, specifically as believers, need to understand. He says your kingdom come. And he starts off with saying your kingdom. That this life, this purpose that we have on this planet, it is not about us. Now you are important, you matter. Scripture says you are the apple of God's eye. He has gifted you, he has saved you, he has redeemed you. But why? He did all those things for you to help bring about the glory of his kingdom. So that's one of the first things that we need to understand every single day when we, when our feet hit the floor, is to understand it's not about my kingdom, it's not about my wants, my needs, it's about his. It is your kingdom. And the kingdom is simple. The kingdom is the gospel. It really is all about the gospel. Jesus tells us numerous times in the Gospels that the reason that he came was to seek and save the lost. He said the well, the healthy, don't need a doctor. It's the sick that need a doctor. And FYI, that's all of us before Jesus. Before Jesus came and renewed us and literally birthed us anew, as he says in John chapter 3, we were the sick. But because of what he did on the cross, we are now a part of his kingdom. So we are part of the agents of his kingdom coming to the world. And that is as practical and as simple as loving your neighbor, sharing the gospel, attending your local church, being a part of your local church, serving and making sure that we are doing everything that we can do to make the glory of Jesus, what I say in our church all the time, to make the glory of Jesus famous, make the name of Jesus famous in our community and around the world. So when we're praying and we say your kingdom come, understand that we're talking about it's his, not ours. The kingdom is simply the gospel, and our job is to be the agent of it coming into the world. So listen, I want to encourage you today, be the agent of God's kingdom coming into the world by loving and serving and sharing the gospel with somebody when God gives you those divine appointments. Have a great day. If I can do anything for you, please shoot me a message. Let me know if I can pray for in any way. Let me know. Have a great day.
