Ils sont nombreux, dans le monde religieux d’aujourd’hui, ceux qui croient devoir s’affairer pour \u00e9tablir le royaume du Christ sous une forme terrestre et temporelle. Leur ambition est de faire du Christ le Seigneur des royaumes de ce monde, exer\u00e7ant son autorit\u00e9 dans les tribunaux et dans les camps militaires, dans les parlements, les palais et sur les places du march\u00e9. Ils s’attendent \u00e0 le voir gouverner par des lois sanctionn\u00e9es par l’autorit\u00e9 humaine.<\/p>\n
Le Christ \u00e9tant absent, ils se substituent \u00e0 lui en vue de mettre \u00e0 ex\u00e9cution les lois de son royaume. L’\u00e9tablissement d’un tel royaume est justement ce que d\u00e9siraient les Juifs au temps du Christ. Ils auraient \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00eats \u00e0 recevoir J\u00e9sus s’il e\u00fbt consenti \u00e0 \u00e9tablir une domination temporelle, \u00e0 imposer ce qu’ils estimaient \u00eatre les lois de Dieu, et \u00e0 faire d’eux les interpr\u00e8tes de sa volont\u00e9, les agents de son autorit\u00e9. Mais il d\u00e9clarait : \u00ab Mon royaume n’est pas de ce monde. \u00bb. He refused an earthly throne.<\/strong><\/p>\n Le royaume du Christ ne sera pas \u00e9tabli par des d\u00e9cisions de tribunaux, de conseils ou d’assembl\u00e9es l\u00e9gislatives ni par l’influence de grands hommes du monde ; il le sera par l’action du Saint-Esprit communiquant la nature du Christ \u00e0 l’humanit\u00e9. C’est l\u00e0, l’unique puissance capable de relever l’humanit\u00e9. Et le moyen humain employ\u00e9 \u00e0 cet effet, c’est l’enseignement et la mise en pratique de la Parole de Dieu.<\/p>\n Aujourd’hui tout comme aux jours du Christ, ceux qui travaillent en vue du royaume de Dieu ne sont pas les hommes r\u00e9clamant d’\u00eatre reconnus et soutenus par les gouvernements et les lois humaines, mais plut\u00f4t ceux qui annoncent en son nom au monde les v\u00e9rit\u00e9s spirituelles qui renouvellent l’exp\u00e9rience de Paul chez ceux qui les re\u00e7oivent: \u00ab Je suis crucifi\u00e9 avec Christ, et ce n’est plus moi qui vis, c’est Christ qui vit en moi. \u00bb (Galates 2:20).<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is Christ who lives in me.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":801,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-etudes-biblique"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=800"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":804,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800\/revisions\/804"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
