The Cross and Crown Kingdom

AN ANIMATED EXPLANATION

How does Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection culminate into the “Good News,” known as the gospel? And how does the promised “Kingdom of God” that Jesus taught so much about interact and intersect with that gospel? What if I told you that The Good News IS The Kingdom of God and that this Kingdom is an “upside-down” one?

If you have ever wondered what in the world we are talking about when we reference “The Upside-Down Kingdom of God,” watch this video short video from BibleProject to discover how the cross and crown collide to create a very upside-down kingdom indeed.
