Luke 17:20-21
“The coming of
the Kingdom of God cannot be observed… For behold, the Kingdom of God is among
you.”
I already have a
concept of our dream house. But it is
still a concept – kept in my and my wife’s mind. We are still paying for the lot so we cannot
build it yet. And until it is completely
built, it would remain a dream – soon to be realized. Until we see it, feel it and live in it, we
would only be living in our dreams. That
is the reality of living in this earthly world.
Jesus is offering us more than this earthly
world. He is offering us more than just
a dream.
Yes, He promised us heaven and the Kingdom
of God.
Yes, He promised us eternal life and His
second coming.
Jesus did not want us to expect an immediate
kingdom, but now that promise is not just a dream for it lives in our every
hearts. All we need is to accept Jesus
as our Lord and Savior.
The Kingdom of God is not a visible
territory with borders. It is not a
capitol building with beautiful architecture.
Instead, his Kingdom, God's Kingdom, has already begun to make its
appearance as people bow their hearts to the King and offer themselves in
service to His rule.
Have you truly yielded your heart, soul,
mind, and strength to do the Lord's will?
Is His Kingdom now rightfully placed in your heart?
Let us pray +
Almighty
Father, I praise You for Your power and glory.
I praise You for Your work of deliverance and salvation in our
lives. I praise You for Your promise of
a home and a great future with us. Now I
ask that Your will be done in my life as I offer myself to serve and honor You
as the only true and living God, in Jesus' name.
Amen
+
Your word is for ever, O Lord.
