Why should Christians await Jesus' kingdom?

Answered in 1 source

Christians await Jesus' kingdom as it promises an everlasting reign and the fulfillment of God's sovereign plan.

The anticipation of Christ's kingdom addresses the hope Christians hold for the future, as articulated in Gabriel's message to Mary. Ryle emphasizes that Jesus shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, indicating that while current circumstances may reflect trials and tribulations, God's promise of an everlasting kingdom remains firm. This future hope is foundational for the Christian experience, instilling courage amid difficulties. Christians are called not only to wait but to actively live in light of this promise, embodying the truth that the kingdoms of this world will ultimately become the kingdom of our Lord, as affirmed in the prophetic scriptures of Daniel and the encouraging words of Habakkuk.
