Episode 49

Behold the King of Glory

Published on: 14th December, 2025

From the very beginning, the story of Scripture has not been about rules, rituals, or religious systems—it has been about presence.

God’s original desire was simple and profound: to dwell with His people. What was lost in the garden was not merely innocence, but intimacy. Humanity was created for face-to-face communion with God, and the ache of history is the longing for that nearness to be restored.

In this opening episode, Glenn Bleakney takes us deep into the heart of the gospel—not as information to be believed, but as a reality to be inhabited. At the center stands Jesus Christ, not only as Savior, but as King. He did not come simply to forgive sin or establish a new religion. He came as Immanuel—God with us—to restore communion with the Father and to reveal what life in the Kingdom of God truly looks like.

This conversation explores Jesus’ life of self-emptying obedience, His complete dependence on the Spirit, and His unbroken intimacy with the Father. We discover that in the Kingdom, authority does not flow from position, but from intimacy, and transformation does not come from striving, but from beholding. Jesus lived face-to-face with the Father—and then did something astonishing: He invited us into the same way of life.

The veil has been torn.

Access has been granted.

The Spirit no longer dwells in temples made by human hands—but within God’s people.

The question is no longer whether the King is near.

The question is whether we will turn our hearts toward Him,

remain in His presence,

and live from that place.

This episode is an invitation—not just to believe in Christ, but to abide in Him.

Not just to follow teachings, but to walk in communion.

Not just to await the Kingdom someday, but to live from the reality of the Kingdom now.
