Heartbeat for the Kingdom – Receiving and Reflecting the King’s Heartbeat
Some scripture is so familiar, everyone know’s it. If you watch TV or attended a public event, you have most likely seen banners or posters with JOHN 3:16 for the cameras to pick-up. Virtually anyone can quote, “For God so loved the world…”. Matthew 7:7-12 gives us two more of the most well known and popular phrases quoted, and sometimes mis-quoted, by Christians. But, what was on our King’s heart as he taught his disciples these lessons? What does this scripture provide for us as we seek a heartbeat for the Kingdom? Even today in our mass media world, context is everything when trying to understand what is reported. Here, we can find the context to help us in our goal of Living for Jesus.
