Luke 17:20-21
Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God Is within you.”
Luke 17:20-21
Jesus proclaimed that the kingdom of God was at hand. But this kingdom isn’t a physical realm, but a spiritual one where God’s rule and reign are acknowledged in our hearts. In the prayer Jesus taught His disciples He gives a crucial phrase “Your kingdom come.”
So then we must ask, “How can we surrender more fully to God’s authority in our life. What things are we still holding back from God’s reign? How can we align our will more closely with His today? Because like Jesus said to the rulers and us, the kingdom of God is within you – let it transform your thoughts, actions, and relationships.
