What does Kingdom Culture look like?

God is a God of Decency and Order. Jesus is God's express image, Jesus, while on earth, revealed the Kingdom Culture. Jesus is a real King, with real authority and at salvation we became citizens of Heaven (Phillipines 3:20).

Jesus taught us to "only do what we see the Father do" and if ever one wonders how to do that, just like Jesus looked to God, we look to Jesus. As we study the Gospel that Jesus preached while on earth, we learn what Kingdom Culture looks like, as we look to Jesus, and pursue Him in relationship and follow His examples we learn how to live as citizens.

We have such a friend in Jesus, what we miss sometimes is the visible friendship with Jesus is the invisible representation of friendship with God. If we want to know what God looks like, we look to Jesus. Friendship does not diminish the authority of God, He is our friend, our older brother and our Lord, our King of Kings.

When Jesus came to earth, He didn't give up His Kingship, He came to show us what the King we have been desiring actually looks like and sounds like. In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), Jesus lays out the platform and the politics of The Kingdom of God.

There is a work that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to do. There is a way to become a new kind of human. There is no governmental structure or political agenda, it doesn't exist in party politics, it operates in vertical relationship between heaven and earth. The reality of the literal newness is so simple it is easily overlooked. The transformation is only the starting place in God's rule and reign. The Kingdom of God is literal because it is made up of people. It has a culture, customs and practices, a language, belief systems and principles. It has a smell, made to be experienced. It looks like something because our King looks like something.
