All

"Then comes the end, when he hands the kingdom over to God," 1 Corinthians 15:24.

Who's doing the delivery? Christ. What's Christ handing over? The kingdom. What kingdom? The one over which he reigns. The kingdom that God made him king over. How long will Christ reign? Until all things come under Christ. Who's making all things subject to him? God. God has put all things (ta panta - look it up) under Jesus' feet. Christ the king reigns over all things until God subdues every last enemy to him. (The last enemy? Yes. Death itself gets wiped out!) Reigns over all things? Yes. Well, No. Not every, every all. Not God himself (like, duh!). All else. And then Christ will hand over the kingdom to God, and even Christ will subject himself to God (to the very one who had given all things to Christ), and God will be all in all. One God and father of all, over all, through all, in all. Sky kingdom.

We anticipate meeting a brother or sister today so as to share confident hope in God's timeless future. And, together, we praise God gratefully, we glorify God eternally for including us in Christ's kingdom.

Honoring

"Those who insult your good way of life in Christ may be humiliated," 1 Peter 3:16. Yes. And when do these disparagers get shamed?...
