The early church could not rely on the world
They should not think that crises will not come in the future
Focus on anything but God alone will eventually give way
Therefore they should not disobey God’s voice.
It might save their lives.
It will definitely preserve their hope and future...
Not out of fear, but because we have learned what is better.
The reward is greater and the foundation more secure.
They knew the bliss of forgiveness and the blessedness of being included in God’s family.
Our foundations will be shaken also
We can’t rely on the apparent strength of our culture or economy
Any other kingdom or foundation is too weak to hold us
We should not disobey God’s leading lest we miss out on the greater kingdom that is coming.
If we hold tightly to things in this world, what we are holding onto might not make the trip.
If we are holding too tightly we might not make the trip...
Jesus was giving them a new kind of Kingdom
They could not earn it.
They didn’t need to fear it.
They could eternally hope in it!
They could be living in that reality every day!
Since it is a received kingdom they needed to make room in their lives for what is to come.
Living in fear and doubt and disbelief was not going to prepare them for the glories that remained.
We are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken!
Therefore we should rejoice!
Yes, our God is a consuming fire.
But that means what is less can be burned away so what is purified and ready for the eternal can remain.
Of course fire here is a metaphor.
It is a powerful one.
For we can celebrate that we serve a powerful God.
Don’t live in paralyzing fear.
Let God move deeply in your life.
Expect very good things to come.
The foundations of this world will be shaken so a new creation can come.
So don’t get too cozy.
But celebrate the glory of what is to come and the glory of our living God.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,h let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,i 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.
