“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
Luke 17:20-21 KJV
Jesus was once asked by the Jewish religious leaders, “When will God’s Kingdom come?” Jesus responded, “God’s Kingdom does not come simply by obeying principles or waiting for signs. The Kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God’s Kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you.” God’s Kingdom realm is a Person - Jesus Christ. The reality of God’s Kingdom appears when Jesus lives within us by faith. When we simply believe, like a child, that Jesus’s Blood removed our sin and made us righteous before God, that is what our faith is. God, our Heavenly Father, is pleased when we live by faith in His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen!
