“Repent, For the Kingdom of Heaven is Near!”
This was the message Jesus repeated over and over again and even taught His disciples to teach as they traveled spreading the good news about the Kingdom (Mt. 4:17, 10:7). This past Sunday we took a glance a the meaning of the Kingdom according to those of the 1st century Israel. We must understand that the Kingdom of God is not like anything we have on Earth. Nations have risen and empires expanded to greatness, only to fall at the hands of another. The Kingdom of God is rivaled by none, causing those who seek to destroy it–defeated. As a part of our study this week try to find all the times Jesus and His Church use the terminology, “Kingdom of…” as the sharing of the Gospel. Ask yourself or group the following questions:
1. How often is this message of the Kingdom used throughout the New Testament?
2. What are some of the examples or parables Jesus uses to illustrate the Kingdom of God? Which ones have the most impact on your life?
3. Using the stories or examples given in the Bible, decribe in your own words, what is the Kingdom of God?
