God’s Mission in Matthew Matthew 20:17-21:11 • Five accounts • Five pieces of a puzzle • One picture - • Jesus’ Upside-Down Kingdom What does Jesus’ Upside-Down Kingdom mean for us?
Our God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – is generous and kind to us and to all! Our suffering – just as Jesus’ suffering – is a means God uses to bring His kingdom in us. Serving – rather than being served because we have power and authority – is a core value and activity in the kingdom. The kingdom comes to those who recognize and embrace their need. The kingdom Jesus brings is gentle and peaceful.
