When Jesus initiated His kingdom during the first century, upheaval was the norm in the Roman Empire.
Conspiracies, intrigue, rioting... all were an expected part of life.
Most the people of the time hoped a strong leader would come to assure stability.
But believers focused on faithfully following their resurrected Lord.
And as they consistently worshiped God, loved their neighbors and clung to the truth, their numbers grew.
So by the time the Roman Empire fell, God had prepared the way for civilization to be renewed through His people.
It's been said "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes."
If you listen carefully, history appears to be rhyming again.
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9).
