There are no Jews, no Greeks, etc Part 10

Who truly rules the Kingdom? Who is its Creator? In Isaiah 4:5, the answer is plain, “The LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night”. Much as God did in Exodus, God will provide a place of refuge and that is His Kingdom. It is God’s Kingdom, He created it, He set it in motion, but it didn’t come into fruition until Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom. Jesus is its manager, as stated in PS 89:18, “Indeed, our shield belongs to the LORD, our King is the Holy One of Isreal” and he delivers those who are held captive, as in Isaiah 49:25. Because He loves us so much, He has set His son to establish His Kingdom, so that He can demonstrate that He does rule supreme. Our little corner of heaven, where we are protected by Him. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus has established his stronghold in the church by giving Peter the keys. He has established that once and for all He is the Rock, the solid Rock upon which we stand, as the song says. I Peter2:3, Peter demonstrates the humility of a Christian in the presence of the Rock of Ages. And this is the support that God provides and God promised and continues to remind us of this promise to lead us, as Jeremiah said in Jer 3:15, “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” God provides his Church with what they need, and no one is any less important than the other in this Kingdom. God’s main thrust is not what I can do as a performer for Him, but what I can do as a service to the church. My strong point may not be someone else’s. And our connection is that we all help one another. And we are collectively the King’s daughter, as spoken of in Ps 45:13, as He dresses us in fine robes and linens. And because of our connection to Christ via baptism, we can be presented as a “glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing but should be holy and without blemish”.(Ephesians 5:27)
