Thy Kingdom Come

“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

Jesus was telling us first, that there is a kingdom.  Let’s let that settle in.  What’s a kingdom?, it’s a place with laws, with hierarchy, with royalty and with subjects.  The law of the land is set by the ruler, the king and is followed by everyone else.  Jesus is king of kings and Lord of Lords. He sets the rules in heaven.  In the next sentence, he Is telling us that His will IS CURRENTLY BEING DONE IN HEAVEN.  This part of the prayer is asking God to help us do His will on earth as it is already being done in heaven.  Then His kingdom will be evident.  Remember Jesus said, “If you love me keep my commandments.” John 14:20.  (For the full verse see 15-30 of John 14).  Think of it.  God IS love.  A world of love, ruled by love, covered in love, expressing and exemplifying love at all times. 

Thy Kingdom Come oh God.
