“[In politics for Christians], there is no ‘winning’ or ‘losing.’ God has won in Jesus Christ. That is the gospel. A [right] perspective recognizes these rulers serve under God’s reign for a limited time. They can do good or evil. But their reign is limited…because they are mortal. Kingdoms rise and fall, but one Kingdom stands forever. It cannot be shaken.” 🔥

Blowing my mind so far and definitely reframing how I think about politics. So much helpful context about the Roman Empire that helps you understand Jesus’ interactions with the world and why His kingdom IS political, but not in the way we think. “Christianity is political, but it has been partisanized. Christianity is public, but it has been privatized.”
