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.
