What is the kingdom of heaven?
Sincerely,
Looking For The Keys

Dear Looking For The Keys,

The kingdom of heaven is the church.  Jesus and John the Baptist both preached that the kingdom of heaven was soon going to happen (Matt 3:1-2, Matt 4:17).  Jesus also told His disciples that some of them would see the kingdom come in their lifetime (Matt 16:28).  Later on, the apostle Paul said that all christians were currently in the kingdom (Col 1:13).  Jesus preached that it would soon happen, and Paul said that the kingdom was already present… what big thing came into being between Jesus’ preaching and Paul’s?  The church!  On the day of Pentecost, the church began (Acts 2:1, Acts 2:38-41).  The church is the kingdom of heaven.   SB
