Today, we’ve selected a Bible Project video to engage our minds to think deeper about Jesus and his Kingdom. We’ve provided a set of reflection questions so you can start thinking about the implications of this concept for our faith.

In this video, we trace the origins of the word “gospel” and how it ties the story of the Old Testament together with the story of Jesus and his announcement of God’s kingdom. Jesus brought God’s rule and reign to the world in a very upside-down way, which is the best news you could ask for.

Reflection

1. What do earthly kingdoms value and look like, and how is Jesus’ Kingdom different?
2. Why does God use sacrifice rather than strength to work in the world?
3. How does sacrifice demonstrate loyalty to Jesus?
