Preaches, sermons, whatever; they're hereSylvia Billington: Jesus is the restorer of the kingdom of God
Sylvia continues our series looking at the different facets of Jesus’ personality by looking at why Jesus is the restorer of the kingdom of God.
Jesus came primarily not to share about faith, or preach, but to restore the kingdom of God. During the three years that Jesus preached, he only preached about the kingdom of God.
When God created man, he had a plan. He wanted to bring His kingdom to earth. He created man in His own image and likeness to rule and dominate over every living thing. That is why He created every one of us.
Genesis 1:26-28 (AMP): Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.” So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them [ and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it; and rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
We are supposed to rule everything that God has created. So what’s gone wrong?
