The love that is the hallmark of Jesus’ kingdom calls us to lay down our desires to win and to find that in losing we might gain the greater reward of transforming our enemies into friends. Upside Down love wins by losing… 

In the upside-down Kingdom of God, the lowly are lifted, the broken are blessed, and the hungry are filled. We don’t have to measure up to enter the kingdom of God. We don't even have to live a certain way to earn the kingdom of God. You can’t earn it! That reality is all of us have been granted access to the kingdom of God through Jesus, not because of how we live, but in spite of ourselves. And because we’ve been invited, the way we live our lives changes in response.
