Tim Keller | June 6, 2010
When the Bible says the kingdom of God is coming, it means the king is coming. And when a king comes, the king always brings a kingdom, meaning an administration.
When you get a new leader, you also get a new way of doing things. The leader brings his or her priorities. The administration has its own motivations, dynamics, and values. And what we have in Luke 6 is a contrast between Jesus’ kingdom and the way the world operates.
From this passage, I want to show you 1) the world’s kingdom, 2) Jesus’ upside-down kingdom, and 3) an encouragement and a warning.

In The Prodigal God, Tim Keller examines the way Jesus presents the parable to speak both to those who run from God and to those who try to earn his love by being good. It reveals the heart of the gospel—a message of hope for both the rebellious younger brother and the judgmental older brother, and an invitation for all to experience God’s grace.
