Subtle Ingathering & Illuminated Ambassadors

I. Reception: Embracing the Unassuming Kingdom (v.47)

II. Reckoning: Inevitable Separation and Judgement (v.48-50)

III. Responsibility: Kingdom Learners and Teachers (v.51-52)

For Further Discussion

1) How aware am I of the ways God is at work around me, even in ordinary or “hidden” ways? What areas of my life am I failing to recognize God’s presence or the value of His kingdom?

2) Are there areas of complacency in my life where I ignore God’s call or the consequences of my choices? How does the reality of judgment motivate me to live differently today? How does the reality of God’s judgment make me appreciate the grace and mercy offered in Jesus?

3) Christ’s disciples are called to both understand His revelation and steward it by teaching others. How am I pursuing a deeper understanding of God’s Word, and how am I sharing that knowledge of His kingdom with others in my life?
