Scripture lesson: Luke 17:20-21 The Kingdom of God
Time to reflect: The Kingdom (Realm) of God is sometimes confusing and different people like picking those passages that suggest that this is a process that is going on on earth or picking those passages that suggest it is a place we go to after death.. This passage is used to support the first option. But in reading the whole Bible it is clear that it is a both/and not an either/or. The Realm of God is whenever, wherever God is in charge. Whenever we are acknowledging God as ruler, we are “ushering in the Kingdom of God.” The Realm of God reaches it completion and fulfillment at the end of time.
Moving through the day: Meditate on when and how you can “usher in the Kingdom of God” today.
Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."
