Kingdom of God


“The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity by contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God…” ~ Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God Is Within You
The kingdom of God..
  • If it doesn’t look like Jesus, it’s not the kingdom of God
  • If it’s the angry, violent, retributive Jesus you desire, it’s not the kingdom of God
  • If it smacks of religious rhetoric and heaped with hypocrisy, it’s not the kingdom of God    
  • If it isn’t for the “least of these”  it’s not the kingdom of God                    
  • If it’s not of the kingdom of God, you must ask: whose kingdom is it of?
Jesus said: Do you want to see the kingdom of God? The kingdom of God is already here among you. The Kingdom of God is Within you…
Here’s my take: we can read the Bible every day and still have our hearts firmly against the ways of the kingdom of God. Until we read Scriptures through the lens of the crucified Christ, our exegesis, our understanding and interpretations, become subject to our Americanism, our church bias and a theological status quo that benefits―us, not the kingdom of God...#pkes
