The King and His Kingdom

Jorge emphasizes that the Kingdom of God is a central theme in Jesus' ministry, mentioned over a hundred times in the Gospels. He outlines four key components of a kingdom: a king, territory, citizens, and laws. Jesus is described as the King, who exemplifies humility and servant leadership. The territory and citizens are explained as being both heavenly and earthly, with believers living as 'strangers and sojourners' on earth while having their true citizenship in heaven. The laws of the Kingdom are illustrated through Jesus' teachings, particularly in the Sermon on the Mount, which emphasize heart transformation over mere behavior modification. Jorge concludes by discussing how living as citizens of God's Kingdom should impact both individual lives and the community of believers.
