Tuesday – Luke 17: 20-37
The Kingdom of God is among us. When we talk about this with others who have not been following Jesus, I think, see us as crazy. They point out to us all the evil, hate, and hurting that is happening in our community and world. They say, “the Kingdom is suppose to be perfect and the world is far from perfect.” How can you talk about the Kingdom of God in our midst? Can you think of a time when you were driving or walking and you witnessed a touching scene? In the actions of the people you thought to yourself, “That’s what the Kingdom of God among us means.” Can you share your own stories of how you have witness and experience the pieces of the Kingdom in your own life?
If so describe some of what you see.
What makes you think of the presence of the kingdom in that persons actions?
Questions for Reflection and Comment:
Today, I invite you to reread this passage and imagine yourself sitting with Jesus as he spoke these words. Imagine what expressions you see on others face as Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God in the midst of us. Were people nodding their heads in agreement? Were people confused?
Then imagine Jesus coming to you and asking you these questions:
What comes to your mind when you hear me speak of the Kingdom?
What images come to your mind?
What event or people do you describe to him?
