Luke 17
20 One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?”
Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. 21 You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.”
The Kingdom of God is already among you. Jesus said those words some 2,000 years ago. Those who look for the coming of God’s Kingdom are missing the point. It is already here! The Church is God’s Kingdom, and while the Kingdom has taken (and continues to take) its lumps, this Kingdom will prevail! Those who follow Christ and are faithful to the end shall triumph over sin! Evil will be vanquished. Jesus will return! But, make no mistake about it, the Kingdom is here now, and is not waiting for the return of Jesus to get started. May those of us whose citizenship is in God’s Kingdom start living like it now, and may God be glorified always!
