The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10:7
Jesus came to revolutionize our idea of God. All the ways that people of His time were taught to think were systematically undermined by His teachings and parables. They disassembled the structure of the day and emphasized the idea that the holy is the place to find God. Remember how He overturned the tables in the Temple before His Passion, stating that this was no longer the place to find God?
Instead we are shown that it’s the ordinary daily life where the kingdom is to be found. The kingdom that Jesus is bringing, this revelation of where to find God, and who He might be is right where we are! There’s no place to go to find God and no place not to go. Everyday life is where God is most active and looking to be found.
The kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 17:21
Thank you, Lord, for the gift of finding Your presence within me.
