Jesus spoke more about the Kingdom of God than anything else. Probably the thing he spoke second most about was money because where we put our money tells us so much about what we really believe. He hardly ever spoke going to heaven when you die. Interesting isn’t it?
What is the kingdom of God? Jesus said it was almost here, actually was here insofar as he was here.
So what does that mean? Since the Kingdom of God, life on planet earth as God intended it, was lived and demonstrated by Jesus, then we should look at the life of Jesus.
And what did that look like? The mute could speak, the deaf could hear, the sick were healed, the dishonest became honest, the haughty became humble, the dead were raised, the demonic was expelled, evil was vanquished, beauty was restored, the hungry were fed, the naked were clothed, the lonely were befriended, parents were honored, women were elevated, the oppressed were raised up . . . . . . . . . . .the kingdom had come.
At least it was inaugurated. But Jesus isn’t done yet.
