And finally, the good news of the gospel of the kingdom is that Christ is not just sustaining all things, but He is reconciling all things. One day all of the assets—natural resources, individuals, neighborhood associations, schools, businesses, governments, etc.—will be liberated from their “bondage to decay” (Rom. 8:21). Jesus Christ created, sustains, and is redeeming assets in poor communities. As the body of Christ, the church should seek to do the same.
