The Kingdom of Christ Over the Sovereignty of Self [Acts 13:1-12]
Manage episode 437562216 series 1467602
In Acts 13, Paul confronts a Roman governor and a Jewish sorcerer. Both of these men have power. One has magic, the other has politics. But neither of these powers is strong enough to keep the power of God’s Kingdom from spreading. Paul demonstrates this Kingdom power, and the gospel continues to spread. As followers of Jesus, we must respond to Jesus as a King who comes to earth announcing a Kingdom. But just like the men that Paul confronts, this Kingdom directly clashes with the kingdoms of the world and the kingdoms of our souls. How do we respond to Jesus’ Kingdom? Do we leave the world’s kingdom like Sergius? Do we cling to our own rule and reign like Elymas? Are we ready to face the worldly and personal kingdoms in conflict like Paul?
