Jesus' response to the world order
(Matthew 17:22-27)
We Christians have a double identity. Christians live on this earth, but what is certain is that they belong to the kingdom of God. Therefore, we must properly obey the order of the earth and also the spiritual order of the kingdom of God. However, there are many misconceptions about this. So, today, through the words of this text, we would like to receive grace together with the word ‘Jesus’ response to the world order’.
You must know and believe in Jesus (verses 22-23).
The reason Jesus first came to this earth was to die on the cross for sinners and to save them (Matthew 20:28). They are trying to use Jesus. Even in the text, when the disciples said that Jesus would die on the cross and rise again on the third day, they did not believe and were very worried. They have already fixed Jesus as someone according to their thoughts and desires. At that time, they did not see the resurrected Jesus. As a result, Jesus became very concerned. If we believe and expect Jesus in our own way, Jesus is reduced to the one who gives us worries and complaints, not the one who gives us life and peace. We must understand and believe Jesus and the truth of the kingdom of heaven through God's wisdom and grace, not our own way.
The world has always been interested in churches and Christians....
