Into the wardrobe…

From that time Jesus
began to preach and to say,
“Repent, for the Kingdom
of Heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 4:17

And Jesus went about all Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues,
preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom,
and healing all kinds of sickness and
all kinds of disease among the people.

Now after John was put in prison, Jesus
came to Galilee, preaching the Gospel of

Beyond the Gospel of Sin Management

Beyond the Gospel of Sin Management
Eternal Life - “Thinking about this has to be scriptural to seek the
knowledge. Scripture is the place that God has deposited in public way the
knowledge we need to have eternal life...and I don’t mean go to Heaven
when we die. That will take care of itself.”
The Gospels of Sin Management - “Forgiveness, Liberation or Church
centered gospels, are not gospels of regeneration and new life now in the
present Kingdom of God under the living Lord Jesus Christ. It is often
presented if we had never sinned we would have no use for Christ.”
Grace - “Is the gospel only what to do about sin? Grace is often taught as
only for guilt. This misunderstands grace. Go to your Bibles for a
thorough, inductive study of grace. You have to think of yourself in
presenting Christ to the world - is it primarily what to do about sin?”
Dallas Willard, 2007 Harvey Fellows Institute Lectures

Beyond the Gospel of Sin Management (continued)
Is faith more than “Fire Insurance” & “Life Insurance”?
“Are we eating what we are selling?
What we are selling is irrelevant to our real existence and
without power over daily life.”
Helmut Thielicke, Pastor, WWII Germany
(as quoted in The Divine Conspiracy, Dallas Willard, p. 39)

Beyond the Gospel of Sin Management (continued)
Do we live by a Bar Code faith?
“Grace is cheap for those who need it.” (Willard, 37)

“The knowledge of the secrets
of the Kingdom of Heaven
has been given to you.”
Matthew 13:11

You will have complete and free
access to God's Kingdom,
keys to open any, every door:
no more barriers
between Heaven and Earth.
Matthew 16:19 (The Message)

There’s more to my Father’s Kingdom
than what you get or avoid when you die...

The Kingdom (def.) - The
reign of a loving God
whose Kingdom
(governance) of love is
now here for His
sons & daughters.

There is a Kingdom...
By Jesus!
So, what is this Kingdom like?

Let us venture further up, further in…

About half an hour later—or it might have been half a hundred years
later, for time there is not like time here—Lucy stood with her dear
friend, her oldest Narnian friend, the Faun Tumnus, looking down over
the wall of that garden, and seeing all Narnia spread out below. But when
you looked down you found that this hill was much higher than you had
thought: it sank down with shining cliffs, thousands of feet below them
and trees in that lower world looked no bigger than grains of green salt.
Then she turned inward again and stood with her back to the wall and
looked at the garden.
“I see,” she said at last, thoughtfully. “I see now. This garden is like the
stable. It is far bigger inside than it was outside.”
“Of course, Daughter of Eve,” said the Faun. “The further up and the
further in you go, the bigger everything gets. The inside is larger than
the outside.”
Lucy looked hard at the garden and saw that it was not really a garden
but a whole world, with its own rivers and woods and sea and mountains.
But they were not strange: she knew them all.
“I see,” she said. “This is still Narnia, and more real and more beautiful
than the Narnia down below, just as it was more real and more beautiful
than the Narnia outside the stable door! I see . . . world within world,
Narnia within Narnia. . . .” “Yes,” said Mr. Tumnus, “like an onion: except
that as you continue to go in and in, each circle is larger than the last.”
