Living in the promised land was God’s purpose for His people. But the promised land wasn’t only for them. God’s desire is that His people have a reputation of caring not only for each other, but for all who pass by. What does that look like today? What would our community look like? How would God be glorified if we were known as a people living in a land without borders?
From the beginning, at the core of God’s promise to His people was a land of their own. A land where they would dwell with Him and He with them. A land where they would not fight for victory, but from victory. God’s people waited for centuries for the realization of that promise. But through Jesus, the promised land is no longer something that will happen one day. So unlike the people of Israel, we no longer need to wait for the promised land. When we live in the legacy of the Kingdom, we are living in the promised land now.
