Luke 17:20-21    “Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Lo, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.””

 RSV

“…for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.””  “.  Is Jesus saying that the kingdom of God is in Him, or even around Him? 

“but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 19:14

“From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.””  Matt 4:17

“Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel.””  Mark 1:14-15

Dear Heavenly Father,  “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.”    Amen
