So what happens to power in God’s Kingdom?

In our current day power is abused probably more than it is used for good. In fact, I’m not terribly sure too many people think about the power they have and how they are going to use it for good. We like to throw our power around until it has a place to land. If you aren’t convinced of this just look around the events in the world of the past 24 hours. A man is shot in an airport, in front of his wife, because he ran out of medicine. George W. Bush throws his weight around when he speaks of “the axis of evil.” In general, media reports articles that divide us instead of bring us together.

Power is an intimate part of the social make-up of humanity. So then what happens to power when Christ returns?

I really have no idea how to answer this question — but something tells me it is an important question.
