By no means am I the expert. I welcome any feedback and discussion. The topic of the kingdom of God is a topic I am growing to love. It was a central topic to Jesus, so I suspect it is worth exploring.
Matthew 13:11 (NIV)
He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them."Mark 4:11 (NIV)
He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables"Luke 8:10 (NIV)
He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, “‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’"
Doesn't this just make you want to know what these secrets are? When we know someone has been telling a secret to others, we naturally want in on it.
I pray for wisdom. I suspect if we seek God for clarity He will give us enough answers as needed.

Hi Jon. Again, thanks for sharing on the Kingdom of Heaven/God. Tomorrow morning I will be doing my sixth teaching on it in a series I am doing at the church I pastor, and I suspect it is going to go on for a lot more Sundays! In fact, I am more and more realizing that the Kingdom lens is the best way to view and read the Bible, especially the New Testament. The more I understand it, the more parables and things that never made sense to me are starting to. I thank you for your blog, it is a blessing.
Hi. Forgot to hit "email follow up comments" so I am doing it now. God bless you.
