How often do we fail to see the movement of Christ in our lives? As Christians we tend to have this position that Christ came and that he is coming again. What about now? In Mathew chapter 28:18 Jesus says "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." Jesus is telling us don't worry I'm the authority in this world. Do we truly believe that Christ is Lord of all right now? Then Jesus follows up this statement with "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..." If we truly believe that Christ has come and conquered death, he is here with us now as the true ruler of this good world that he created, and we are participating with him in the building of his kingdom, why do fail to recognize Christ in our everyday lives as the true ruler of this world? We get so caught up in what we hear and see in this world that seemingly has endless problems, but fail to act as people who believe that Christ is Lord and ruler of all.
How should we respond to this world in such a state? We are to practice justice and mercy and act in love. We are to serve the poor, feed the hungry, help the helpless, love the drug addicted, care for the sick and the list goes on and on. This is what the
Maybe we fail to see Christ in everything because we are not fully participating with him in the building of his kingdom?
