"One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Kingdom of God come?" "Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of God can't be detected by visible signs. You won't be able to say 'Here it is!' or 'It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is already among you" (Luke 17:20-21 NLT).
There is much confusion about the Kingdom of God and it could be because it can't be detected or seen by visible signs. It's an invisible Kingdom! However, it is here among us.
It is very important however to focus on this Kingdom of God. We need to seek it above all else (see Matthew 6:33). Along with seeking God's Kingdom is seeking His righteousness.
As believers in Jesus Christ, when we do this, our spiritual eyes will be opened to see Him and His Kingdom and be able to live aright within His territory.
Bringing others to Christ is imperitive so they too can become part of His unshakeable, enduring kingdom. Jesus is coming soon. Let's get His message of salvation out to as many people as possible. Focus on it.
Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your Kingdom has come to earth through Your Son Jesus and the children He brought into it through faith in Your gift of salvation.
Help us now to continue to seek Your Kingdom and righteousness and to tell out your message to one and all. Help us to be the 'visible signs' detected in Your invisible spiritual Kingdom of God.
In King Jesus' name, Amen.
