One of the more important chapters in Simply Jesus by NT Wright is on Space, Time, and Matter. It’s a mind-bender for me, which I enjoy. The contention is that Jesus wasn’t about telling people how to get to heaven. Jesus was about announcing the coming of the Kingdom HERE… NOW. Not in some “Kingdom Now” type of theology, but demonstrating the actions and words of Jesus show Space, time, and matter as WE think of them aren’t the same when the King interacts with them.

The gospels are not about “how Jesus turned out to be God.” they are about how God became king on earth as in heaven. We need to have our minds truly transformed (Rom. 12:1-2). Paul wasn’t kidding!

It’s WHY we can pray for healing and God CAN indeed answer. It’s why we can pray for nations and God CAN indeed answer. The King has come. The King IS here… pay attention.
