“The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then, the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is urgently invited to enter it.” – Luke 16:16
The empty tomb of Easter makes clear that the Kingdom of God is open and welcoming all who will enter it. Jesus came to proclaim the Kingdom, then died and rose to make the Kingdom available for all who give their lives to Him in faith. The Kingdom is good news for all who hear it and respond. It ushers in forgiveness for sin, resurrection from dead, reconciliation and fellowship with God, and union with Christ.
As citizens of the Kingdom, we are each appointed to serve as royal ambassadors here on earth, representing the character of the King and faithfully conveying His message. Our task as long as we draw breath is to represent Christ and urgently invite others to enter the Kingdom by putting their trust in Jesus Christ. Ambassadors, we have work to do!
