I had always interpreted Matt. 3:2 to mean something like “Heaven is what is here now (rather than what is to come after)”. Jesus Himself as the Kingdom is better. Our goal is the Kingdom — to be like Him.

What a great reminder…Jesus is the Kingdom and He came to be our entry into God’s Kingdom…so hard to grasp what a gift of grace it is that He came to and for us because we could never go to Him in our sinful state…blessings to you 🙂

A lot of Christians seem to want to ignore Jesus, while building a Kingdom all by themselves, based on hierarchy and rule-making.

One would think that the Lord, like Queen Victoria, is not amused.

Seeing a Christian trying to “fit in” is so sad. May we learn to to accept people right where they are, as Jesus did. May He come and find us spreading around that beautiful grace that He extended to us!
