Through the Bible: Luke

DAY 8 OF 11

The Kingdom of God in Our Midst

Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.
Luke 17:20-21 (ESV)

Today as we are reading news about things around the world, we can see what was described in Matthew 24:7 unfolding, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.”It is not surprising when one would start to ask when the end would come.

Even though Jesus’ return is yet to come, the Kingdom of God was already at hand when Jesus the King came 2,000 years ago. As the people of God today, to what extent do our lives reflect the reality of the Kingdom that has already manifested?

Prayer

Father God, we thank You for choosing us to be Your people, with the privilege of sharing Your blessings with the people around us. Please help us be the real salt and light in our community, testifying to the Kingdom that has already begun. Thank You, Lord, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

About this Plan

Through the Bible: Luke

As the longest book in the New Testament, Luke makes the purpose of his writing clear at the beginning: to investigate and write an account of the Gospel. As a Gentile physician, Luke has deliberately recorded many healing miracles of Jesus and His care for the social outcasts. The Gospel is summarised in this proclamation of Jesus, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
