Good morning, friends!
We are almost done with our Threads Through Scripture series, and I have loved this one!
Today’s thread, Divine Reordering, was inspired by a Bible Project video titled What Jesus Meant by “The Last Will Be First.”
At my church Bible study, we have been reading through the letters of Paul, and I’ve been really pondering the idea of the New Humanity and the New Kingdom that Paul speaks about throughout these letters.
As believers, our true residence and allegiance are not earthly. Our forever home is eternal, and our King reigns over the universe. However, through the Holy Spirit, we are still part of this New Humanity, putting on immortality as believers in Jesus.
So shouldn’t our lives transcend the earthly norms and cultural expectations around us? But what does that practically look like?
I think there is a fair argument that Yahweh doesn’t concern Himself with human expectations and ultimately challenges many of our cultural assumptions—right down to what we, as humans, consider powerful, important, or worthy.
This is an interesting thread, woven deep into the pages of Scripture, and one I think is worth taking the time to explore.
I hope it challenges you, makes you think, and that you learn something new along the way!
