Matthew 24:9-14

What does this have to do with me?

1. The "gospel of the kingdom" was foretold in the Old Testament, preached by Jesus—brought by Jesus!—preached by the early church, and should be preached by us until everyone hears it.

2. Since Jesus has come, God is wielding his right to rule in new and powerful ways.

3. Every one of us should turn from all other claims on our allegiance and surrender to the King of kings. Lets repent of all rebellion and faithlessness, accept the terms of his amnesty, and put our trust in the true King.
