G. Campbell Morgan addresses the theme of existing anarchy as seen through the teachings of Jesus, emphasizing the contrast between the Kingdom of God and the false ideals, rules, and perverse hearts of humanity.

Ultimately, he calls for a return to the true authority of God and the necessity of being born again to enter the Kingdom of God.
