"...Thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves."
Colossians 1:12b, 13 (NIV)
There is a place where we will fellowship at a banquet table with a Holy God, His Son who is our Lord and all of His holy people together. It will be a place of peace, of righteousness, of health, of life and of love! We long to see it here now, right where we live, and the truth of the gospel is that we can have this wonderful fellowship right now, right here in a spiritual sense. We have been given every spiritual blessing in Christ, and yet we are still physically here on this earth surrounded by the kingdom of darkness. A place of war and murder, of deceit and malice, of jealousy and grasping, and a place of illness and death. This kingdom is run by the father of lies, a murderer from the beginning. He rules his kingdom through deceit as he whispers lies to the subjects of this dark place. Oh friend, how the Father has blessed us by rescuing us from this kingdom and making us a part of His kingdom of light. May we live as children of the light this day.
