Why Did Jesus Really Come?…Part 7, by Papa Boyd Dennis
From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”…Matthew 4:17.
Continuing…“Why Jesus Really Came”?…Jesus Came to Re-Establish the Kingdom of God/Heaven in the earth through man; “When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am He, and that I can do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things…for I do always those things that PLEASE HIM” – John 8:28-29. This is the simplicity and the power and the glory of the Kingdom of God!
- When Jesus trod the pathways of this earth two thousand years ago He came forth as the LIVING MANIFESTATION AND DEMONSTRATION of the Kingdom of God.
- When He gave testimony to the presence of the Kingdom, He was the only one experiencing it.
- He was in the realm of God, under the rule of God, and the dominion of God was working in Him exactly as it should be in all men. In every aspect of His life He was completely submitted to God’s reigning and ruling.
- For the first time since the sin of Adam there was a MAN walking the earth who perfectly expressed the nature, will, power and purpose of God.
- Through Jesus’ life, words, and ministry the Kingdom of God was declared to men – He was the unique manifestation of God’s Kingdom.
- He was God’s message to mankind, not a message merely in words, but a message in BEING.
- He came to demonstrate what a citizen of the Kingdom is and must be – He was Himself the first citizen of the Kingdom; He was the founder of the Kingdom; in Him the Kingdom was embodied.
Look at Jesus and you will see at once what the Kingdom means and how a citizen of the Kingdom lives. Oh, the wonder of it! The child of God is a man or woman who is born a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
