Acts 17:6
6 And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
Jesus came to bring about an upside down kingdom. In His new order the greatest has to be the servant of everyone, tax collectors and prostitutes are valued members and the religious leaders are way off track. In His kingdom the mourners, meek, and even persecuted are blessed. In our world, His Kingdom is upside down.
That message of God’s Kingdom spread around the ancient world through the new Christians’ lives and teaching. We may think it wouldn’t survive as people would see it as upside down and weird. But it turned the world upside down, or better said, right side up. When you get quiet because your Christian beliefs seem so strange in our world remember, it has seemed strange before. But the world hasn’t changed Christianity, Christianity has changed the world.
Prayer prompt: Lord, thank you for making me part of turning the world around.
