Jesus summoned
His twelve Disciples and gave them
authority …."As you go,
"He said, "proclaim that
the Kingdom of Heaven is close at
hand."
Matthew
10:7
The Kingdom of Heaven is already
present to those who respond to
their Heavenly Father and seek to
love and serve their fellowmen.
And through their commitment they
enable the extension of the Kingdom.
Those who do not consciously relate
to the Father's Kingdom should seek
in humility and sensitivity a meaning
behind existence and a willingness
to some commitment as they progress.
Life and work, experience and relationships
offer more than sufficient to provide
questions and answers which will
bring each seeker to the threshold
of the Kingdom.
Many there in the world those who
give service and succour to their
fellowmen who have found no answers
to the questions in their mind.
In their self-giving they qualify
for citizenship of the Father's
Kingdom. Some will, at the end of
time, find themselves honoured,
and those who declaimed their allegiance
but neglected challenge and responsibility
not preferred.
For not everyone who says to Me,
"Lord, Lord" shall enter
the Kingdom, but only he who does
the will of My Father who is in
Heaven.
