The Concept of a Nation Redefined (04/11/'24) -Viewpoint

The Concept of a Nation Redefined I believe that future generations should embrace the idea that a nation isn't strictly defined by its land, populace, and governing body. The essence of a nation lies more in the shared values and identities of its people than in its physical or political structures. A community can represent a nation, even without formal government or a defined territory. This concept echoes the "kingdom of God" that Jesus emphasized, which centers on profound values and identity. When the Israelites sought a king and a kingdom from God, His response, as documented in 1 Samuel, offers a clear perspective on this matter. Ptr Steven G. Lee (April 11, 2024)
