Where is the Kingdom of God?

Over two thousand old age ago, Jesus Of Nazareth Jesus, the Messiah spoken of in the Old Testament, spoke to the crowds who had gathered to hear Him. The crowds were so great that Jesus Of Nazareth had to talk to them from a boat offshore. He spoke many fables to them about the land of God.

The fable of the sower

"A husbandman went out to sough his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some drop along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some drop on bouldery places, where it did not have got much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the dirt was shallow. But when the sun came up, the works were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed drop among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed drop on good soil, where it produced a harvest - a hundred, 60 or thirty modern times what was sown. He who have ears, allow him hear (Matthew 13:3-9)."

Even Jesus's adherents asked Him what the significance of the fable was, and why He spoke in such as a manner to the people.

Jesus told His adherents that, "When anyone hears the message about the land and makes not understand it, the wicked 1 come ups and bits away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The 1 who received the seed that drop on bouldery topographic points is the adult male who hears the word and at once have it with joy. But since he have no root, he endures only a short time. When problem or persecution come ups because of the word, he quickly falls away. The 1 who received the seed that drop among the irritants is the adult male who hears the word, but the concerns of this life and the craftiness of wealthiness choke it, making it unfruitful. But the 1 who received the seed that drop on good dirt is the adult male who hears the word and understands it. He bring forths crop, yielding a hundred, 60 or thirty modern times what is sown (Matthew 13:19-23)."

Produces crop? What's He talking about, farming?

No. Jesus Of Nazareth is talking about our actions, what we say, and what we do, and the consequences that come up from those things. When we hear God's word, and understand it, we have got to make a choice; either we make what Supreme Being says, or we make not do what Supreme Being says. When we make what God's word says, we are sowing good seed, and will harvest the approval of our actions. When we do not make what God's word says, we are sowing bad seed, and will harvest the effects of our bad actions.

The people who were listening to Jesus Of Nazareth as He spoke to them from the boat, were forced to make a determination by the fables that He spoke. Some wanted to be His disciples, some were opposed to Him, and others were just sitting on the side lines, waiting to see how things would turn out.

We are all put option into the same place today!

Speaking in parables, Jesus Of Nazareth told His adherents that the land of Supreme Being is in a concealed word form in this twenty-four hours and age. Many people back then, expected the Messiah to come up and pass over out the Roman regulation at that time, but it was not to be so.

The human race is not yet experiencing the fully consummated land of God, but through Jesus' parables, we larn what it intends to dwell for His land in the present age.

Many modern times when Jesus Of Nazareth Of Nazareth Of Nazareth spoke He said, "He who have ears, allow him hear."

Why did Jesus state that? It means, "Listen up." "Pay attending to what I am telling you." "Listen to what I am saying, it's important."

Listen to Him. He's teaching us about the kingdom. He's showing us the way! He desires us to be all that we were created to be, and will most assuredly assist us acquire there.

How could He help?

Easy. You see, the land of Supreme Being is not without, but within.

Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the land of Supreme Being would come, Jesus Of Nazareth replied, "The land of Supreme Being makes not come up up with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is', or 'There it is', because the land of Supreme Being is within you." (Luke 17:20-21)
