Tables & Sinners – The Coming of the Kingdom

Luke 17:20-37 // George Eldon Ladd said, “The Kingdom of God is His kingship, His rule, His authority.” We can add that the Kingdom of God is the Father's reign inaugurated by His Son's obedience, administrated through the power of the Spirit, and furthered by the church’s obedience. Our text has an encouragement, a warning, and an admonition. Jesus encourages His disciples to persevere in their faith, warns them of the possibility to be deceived, and admonishes them to be prepared.
