“For the Kingdom of God is already among you” (Luke 17:21 NLT).
Where is the Kingdom of God? And when will it come? The Pharisees asked Jesus to show them the kingdom. But He warned them that it was not yet something they could observe. They were looking for the outward evidence of pomp and power from a conquering king, while the King of Glory stood in their midst unrecognized. For the kingdom was already coming to those who recognized Jesus as King and would ultimately be fulfilled at His return.
Where is the kingdom today? Wherever Christ Jesus is king! When will it come? Whenever we invite Him to be our Lord and Savior! Have you done this? Have you surrendered your life to Christ as King? Then, the Kingdom of God “is already among you.”
PRAYER: Dear Father, we yield our lives to Your Son, Jesus, as King. We bow our hearts to Him. We ask Him to rule from the throne over our hearts. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in us and in this world. In Jesus’ name, amen.
