From Lee Camp’s Mere Discipleship:
Jesus called his disciples to participate in a kingdom that was invading human history, a kingdom so present you could reach out and touch it, a new order in their very midst. “For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you” (Luke 17:21). That new kingdom is “otherworldly” only in the sense that it is the will of the “Father who is in heaven.” The new kingdom is very “this-worldly” in the sense that the kingdom calls us to participate in God’s will and reign even now, in the midst of human history. And it is also “this-worldly” in the sense that we now see, in Jesus, what it means to live fully according to God’s will, in the midst of all concerns, hurts, and pains of human history. The kingdom is not unrelated to human history, but it is the new reality that redefines human history.
This book is undoing me at a deep level. I feel like Christ is in this, challenging my understanding and calling me to deeper participation in His Kingdom. You must read this book.
