A Kingdom not of this World

John 18:33-37 Jesus’ government is unlike any earthly governments; it comes from heaven. He is a king that gives what no human government in the entirety of human history has been able to give, salvation from all our problems. We enter His kingdom when we submit to His rule in our lives.

Your Heavenly Father Feeds the Birds

Matthew 6:26 “...your heavenly Father feeds [the birds]...” During long, cold winter nights, feathers are excellent insulation, especially down feathers. Feathers are designed to trap heat when fluffed, keep birds warm and repel water. While some birds migrate to warmer areas, many species will crowd together among evergreens, in a cavity, or in a birdhouse and stay warm.

Look at the Birds

Matthew 6:26 “Look at the birds of the air”. There are about 9,000 species of birds. All lay eggs, perfectly designed for structural strength, loaded with protein, and rich in nutrition. Birds were designed to build a wide diversity of nests that are artistic and complexly engineered.

Inheritance

What is the inheritance of the saints, those made holy by God? The inheritance of the saints is the culmination of all God’s plans, New Jerusalem and a new earth where God and humanity can live together, making all our earthly time of testing pale into insignificance, “and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain” (Revelation 21:4 NASB)
