An Upside Down Kingdom

Many people have described the Kingdom of God that Jesus preached as an "upside down kingdom." In other words, God's reign overturns and subverts every other reign.

Pretty radical when you think about it and not at all the tame, religious, non-world shaking thing that most people think of when they think of Christianity.

In the upside down Kingdom...

The rich became poor, so the poor could become rich.
The foolish confound the wise.
The weak are strong, the strong are weak.
Life comes from death, clinging to life brings death.
The proud are humbled, the humbled are exalted.
The last will be first, the first will be last.

What needs to be overturned in your life for God's reign to fully come in your life?
