Teaching Points The Nature of the KingdomThe kingdom Jesus bestows is spiritual and eternal, not earthly or temporal. Believers are called to focus on spiritual authority and service. Authority and Service Just as Jesus received authority from the Father, believers are entrusted with spiritual authority to serve and lead in humility. Inheritance Through Christ Believers are co-heirs with Christ, sharing in His kingdom and responsibilities. This inheritance calls for faithful stewardship. The Role of Discipleship The promise of the kingdom is linked to discipleship. Followers of Christ are to live out kingdom values and principles in their daily lives. Eternal Perspective The promise of a kingdom encourages believers to maintain an eternal perspective, prioritizing spiritual growth and kingdom work over worldly pursuits.(29) And I appoint unto you a kingdom.--As being the verb from which is formed the noun for "covenant," or "testament," the Greek for "appoint," has a force which we lose in the English.

The Name that is above every name was the crowning reward of obedient humility (Philippians 2:8-9).Verse 29. - And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me. This promise refers to earth and this life. They and their successors in his Church would bear sway over men's hearts, His kingdom would be administered by them. With strangely literal accuracy has this promise been fulfilled.

Then at most the kingdom numbered a few hundreds; nine it can only be reckoned by millions. For centuries the story of the civilized world has been the story of this kingdom.
