Episode Synopsis
How to be citizen of heaven while engaging in the world?
Jesus proclaimed the "good news" of God's Kingdom - a reality available here and now, not just after death. In the early days of Christianity, believers risked persecution by declaring "Jesus is Lord" instead of "Caesar is Lord," a political statement affirming their primary allegiance to God's Kingdom over any earthly nation or leader.
As followers of Christ, we engage in politics because policies affect people. Loving our neighbors means caring about issues that impact their lives. But our approach is unique: we start with our sphere of influence, recognizing that while we may not change national policy, we can significantly impact our local communities.
In the political arena, we're called to advocate for others first, following Jesus' example of servant leadership. We're to be a paradox, not partisan - caring deeply about issues while remaining non-anxious, flexible in our political stances but unwavering in our Kingdom values.
Reflect:
How can you bring "up there, down here" in your daily life and community?
