Discipleship Dare day 10- The Kingdom of Heaven

I love what Jess Bousa says on day 10 of the Discipleship Dare, "In the Kingdom of God all earthly values are reversed. The first shall be last, the last shall be first. The greatest people in the kingdom shall be servants. The kingdom particularly belongs to the poor, the hungry and the mourning. The rich will find it almost impossible to enter."
This reversal of what we have known all our lives will be transformational. We see this now as it happens in part, but when the kingdom comes in fulness there will be no opposition. There will really be "peace on earth."
In the meantime we are sent as ambassadors of this Kingdom of God to implore all who will hear us to come and be a part of it. "So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent me, I also send you."
