Who Reigns?
The Pharisees are trying to find out when this kingdom of God is coming in today's reading (Luke 17:20-18:8). Jesus' answer must have surely puzzled them; ".. the kingdom of God is in your midst." Hmm. Sadly they did not realize that they were talking to the King Himself.
Jesus gives another clue to the kingdom of God coming when He says, "Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it" in verse 33. Giving over charge of our life to the King of Kings definitely enables His reign to come. So instead of getting terribly focused on how close to the end it is or about all the signs and calamities happening around us, we need to remember Jesus' bottom line in verse 8. "However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
Lord, increase our faith. May You reign in our hearts.
