Vs 33 begins with a contrast word
Jesus expects his followers to REPRIORITIZE their lives.
The priority of a Jesus follower is seeking:1. God’s Kingdom &2. God’s Righteousness &3. Nothing else.
WHAT DOES KINGDOM MEAN?Kingdom is authority.When we come to Jesus, he expects us to surrender everything to his authority.
Do we seek God’s authority in our lives, our church, our community?Do we pray (& mean it), “your Kingdom come?”Do we truly desire God’s reign over everything?
