In today’s message we will look at the paradoxical nature of God’s kingdom on earth by comparing the logic and reason found in the Bible with logic and reason commonly found elsewhere. At first sight, many things in the Bible don’t seem to make sense as we filter the information through the filter of human understanding and reason. Consequently, it is important to judge and interpret scripture according to the governing framework that inspired the text. With God’s kingdom on earth it seems up is sometimes down, and down is at times up. If we inject our notions of up and down into the text we might potentially hurt our relationship with God in the long run because we expect certain things based on how we understand the text.
