A quote - not an exact quote - by a man
named Tremper Longman from Kent Jobe’s Sunday’s sermon: The inbreaking of
the kingdom always results in the restoration of creation.
Makes chill bumps
on me! Whenever the Divine pushes through the veil of humanity and makes
himself known in some way, it ought to make us tremble in addition to breaking
out in a few bumps.
Jesus broke through
the veil when he entered Mary’s womb, and again when he broke forth from that
nest into the night air in the stable. Tremble!!
We all have
experienced the inbreaking of the Kingdom of God into our fallen existence when the
Holy Spirit enters into us when we accept Jesus as Master forever. Tremble!!
And praise the
Lord! We will experience the final inbreaking of the Kingdom on that day when
these bodies of “dirt packed hard” (Mike Ireland) are transformed in the twinkling
of an eye to be exactly like the glorious body of Jesus, our Savior and
Redeemer. Tremble!!
