Luke`s Biography of Jesus - The Coming of the Kingdom of God
Make the kingdom of God our first priority. Jesus says seek first the kingdom of God, and
everything else will be given to you. What is God's kingdom? What is it we are supposed to be seeking? It's a
lot of things, but for starters it includes things like people being freed from guilt through the forgiveness that
Jesus brings. People who are far from God and other people being reconciled through Jesus. People in
economic hardships being liberated. In our own lives God's kingdom means experiencing his love in real ways
and becoming more like Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. Now if those are the things we are striving
for, if those things are our first priority, we don't have to worry. It's not that we won't encounter hardships, we
will. But if our first priority is being part of what God is doing in our world and in our lives, we don't have to
worry about the hardships, because God is going to get his kingdom done in us and in the world no matter
what. Because one of the cool things about God is, he's God! He's omnipotent. And omnipotent is a really
good thing to have on your side. It's the ultimate ?my dad's bigger than your dad? deal. Our dad and his
kingdom are bigger than all our worries put together. The whole Bible is one long book about what God wants
to do in the world and in our lives. It's a great book, I highly recommend it. But it is a little long and I know some
of you maybe haven't finished it yet. So let me tell you how it ends: We win. We win. By: Scott Dudley - January 12, 2007 - Public Category: The Coming of the Kingdom of God

How would Jesus explain his statement that The Kingdom of God is within you?
The Kingdom of God is within our hearts and souls, it exists in the good that we do, in how we emulate Jesus' compassion for others, how we recognize that we are sinners and feel repentant for those sins we have committed, and try with the Lord's help to stop sinning.

What Jesus means "The kingdom of God is within you"
The Kingdom of God is within you simply means,God created us in His own image. What is in Him [God] He placed in man. Everything is in man already. eg. Blessings, riches, glory etc. Is only darkness which has covered the true nature of God within us, so when we listern, believe and obey God's word then the light of God shine in us and reveals the Kingdom of God in us. Every kingdom also consist of power. When God's Kingdom is revealed in us,we receive power to do things which Jesus said in Mk.16:17.
The Kingdom of God is Heaven. God wants us to spend eternity in Heaven with Him. We are not guaranteed tomorrow. We will not know when Jesus will return that is why Jesus says repent for the kingdom of God is near. By: tammy westbrook - April 28, 2007 - Public Category: The Coming of the Kingdom of God

How would Jesus explain his statement that The Kingdom of God is within you?
Jesus would explain that it is the people themselves who are the Kingdom of God and the coming of the Kingdom of God is when the people themselves behave in a godly manner. By: Bol Joseph Agau - November 26, 2006 - Public Category: The Coming of the Kingdom of God
Being asked by the
Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God doesn't come with observation; neither will they say, 'Look,
here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within
you." He said to the
disciples, "The days will come, when you will desire
to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. They will tell you, 'Look,
here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away, nor follow after them, for as the lightning, when it
flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under
the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day. But first, he must suffer many
things and be rejected by this generation. As it happened in the days of
Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They ate, they drank, they
married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into
the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise, even as it happened in
the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they
planted, they built; but
in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from
the sky, and destroyed them all. It will be the same way in the
day that the Son of Man is revealed. In that day, he who will be on
the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them
away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back. Remember Lot's wife! Whoever seeks to save his life
loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it. I tell you, in that night there
will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will
be left. There will be
two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be
left." They answering, asked
him, "Where, Lord?"
He said to them, "Where the body is, there will
the vultures also be gathered together."
