The Good News Is the Kingdom
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
Please note: A critical part of our introduction to the powerful truths of the Kingdom is about our inheritance as children of the Lord God. Jesus is the King, but He isn't our inheritance. Our inheritance is the Kingdom prepared for us since the creation of the world. The gift that the King gives us is a kingdom. We inherit the Kingdom, but Jesus rules the Kingdom.
Now as our inheritance, the Kingdom belongs to us by legal right. Adam and Eve lost the "paperwork" in the Garden and forfeited the Kingdom benefits, for themselves and their future generations. Jesus came to remove the deceiver from his illegal occupation of the throne that made it impossible for us to reclaim our inheritance. He is, in a sense, the executor of our estate. Even though our inheritance has been waiting for us since the creation of the world, we must go through Jesus to receive it.
Always remember, in the spirit realm, Christ is the mediator between the Lord God and man. He stands between the Kingdom and us. He mediates between our inheritance and us. We cannot receive the full benefits of our inheritance unless we go through Him. Just as a trust fund might have been ours as a child, even before we knew about it; the Kingdom of God is our inheritance from the foundation of the world.
Thoughtful questions:
Thoughts to Meditate on:
Remember what Jesus stated to us: "There is a great inheritance waiting for you. A Kingdom that is yours even though you know nothing concerning it. “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. I am here to reveal it to you and to assist you to claim it. I am the Mediator. I am the Door. Come to Me, trust in Me and enter into the Kingdom prepared for you.
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
When you take Jesus at His Word--when we trust Him as the One who can cleanse us of our sin--when we give Him control and acknowledge Him as Lord of our life--then we meet all the "qualifications" necessary to receive our Kingdom inheritance.
Now for your personal questions:

Thoughtful questions:
- "We inherit the Kingdom, but Jesus rules the Kingdom" What does this mean to you?
- How does receiving our inheritance provide proof that we are God's children?
- Why must we go through Jesus to receive our inheritance? How does this separate Kingdom citizens from religions of the world, including Christianity?

Now for your personal questions:
- Do you take the Lord Jesus at His Word?
- Do you trust Him to cleanse you from your sin (disobedience)?
- Do you give Him control and acknowledge Him as Lord of your life?
- Are you qualified to receive your inheritance?
