Jesus' New World Order

John 4:23 New King James Version (NKJV)

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

We hear a lot about the attempt by enemies of Christ and His people to create a new world order which would try to centrally plan and control the entirety of mankind.

But there is a far greater new world order that has existed from before time, and that order is the person of Jesus Christ Himself.

It needs to be understood that when Jesus was referring to the hour that now is, He meant as it related to being revealed to mankind, and the expectations of God accompanying that revelation of His desire from a people.

Most importantly, He, with that brief statement, asserted the entirety of the old Jewish religion and system as revealed in the Old Testament had, as of that moment, been dismissed as being no longer relevant.

Why? Because the true new world order, or in truth, heavenly order, had now come to fruition in the person of Jesus Christ.

All of the types and shadows, which pointed to Christ, were now fulfilled in Him, so the part they played were gotten rid of because they were no longer needed when the reality had revealed Himself to the world.

The new world order is not a system, but a person living in the very hearts of those that have truly repented and turned from themselves, the world, and the devil, and put their faith in Jesus Christ.

Out of that living relationship and fellowship is to come forth the unveiling of who Christ is in a people, to the end that He becomes 'all in all.' That's the goal and end result of the enternal purpose talked about in the letter of Paul to the Ephesians.

The new world order of Jesus Christ is one of Him indwelling us via the Holy Spirit and the truth or reality that accompanies and emerges out of that experience.

Jesus Christ is our world, the only world we are to look to and live in. This is what the Scriptures mean when it says " in Him we live and move and have our being." That's the order of Jesus Christ. Christianity is nothing less than that.

The Father is seeking those who will live their lives in union with Jesus Christ and one another in this manner, and that will reveal to the world who He is. That's Spirit. That's truth. That's the new world order presented by God the Father in Jesus Christ, Who lives within all that place their faith in Him.

It's meant to be lived out on a daily basis by believers, and that means Christ's new heavenly order is organic and unrelated to the props, institutionalism, and buildings so many wrongly associate with Christianity today.
