live in the kingdom

Saturday August 22nd, John 6: 54 The one who brings a hearty appetite to this eating and drinking has eternal life and will be fit and ready for the Final Day. The disciples were sent out to announce the Kingdom is near. Knowing that deep down in every aspect of your life is the realization of that reality. It is not about getting ready for Christ, it is about living, being ready for and living in the Kingdom always. Rather than making sure everyone else is doing things right according to our standards, we need to focus on whether we are living as a child of God and treating others as the children of God. Rather than making sure everyone else is living a moral life by our standards, we need to focus on whether we are living a moral life by God’s standards. God’s standards are simple, love God with all your being, and love others as brothers and sisters in Christ, whether you like them or not. That rather excludes war doesn’t it? That rather includes healthcare for all doesn’t it?
