An Upside-down Kingdom – Ken Barnes

While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. (Luke 24:15-16 NASB)

After the death and resurrection of Christ, he appeared to two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus. The disciples did not recognize Jesus. Why? They were not looking for an upside-down kingdom.

As the two disciples were walking along that road, they were very sad (Luke 24:17). They had hoped Jesus would free Israel from Roman oppression. They had envisioned an earthly kingdom that the Messiah would establish. They were looking for a triumphant king (Luke 24: 21) and not a suffering servant. 

Jesus explained why he had to die (Luke 24: 25-27), yet they were still clueless. That night at supper, Jesus blessed the bread and broke it, and the eyes of the disciples were opened. They had that aha moment that only the Holy Spirit can give to us. The breaking of the bread represented the brokenness of Christ. That evening the two disciples started to understand that the realm that Jesus was promoting was not of this world. It was an upside-down kingdom where the poor could actually be rich, and the weak could be strong, and those who are the least, were the greatest. The scales had fallen off their eyes, and they realized they must lose their life rather than keep it. It was better to give than receive, and their purpose was to serve and not be served.

It was a paradigm shift in the lives of these two disciples. You cannot see Christ without being changed, yet, at times he is hidden from us. Have you missed seeing Christ because you were not looking for him in an upside-down kingdom?

Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant letter of the law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross. 

And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time. 

Running close to 5 stars with over 180 online reviews.

Recent Amazon Review: 

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus; but truth defeats lies every time and never forsakes the believer." 2-18-17
