Called to Reign with Christ: Authority as Stewardship in God’s Kingdom

Can you imagine a realm where the unentitled are personally sought out by the King's Firstborn Son? Is it conceivable that they would then be invited and escorted into the King's own chambers? It sounds almost scandalous. Yet they are adopted into the royal family and endowed with authority so that those who never expected an invitation from the palace may become co-participants with Christ, sharing in the King's very Nature and lineage.That kind of generosity may unsettle the courtiers who claim exclusive access to the palace, but this is exactly what Jesus inaugurates in His ministry. In Him, those who were mere subjects are brought into the Father's house as co-regents with Christ, called to uphold and extend His Kingdom-not as commoners any longer, but as full co-participants in His Nature by Grace. No longer only subjects, but reigning royals; no longer only observers, but agents and ambassadors of His coming Kingdom. Buckle up.
