Jesus was not announcing a political kingdom. • God’s presence and rule can be found in him and in the things he said and did. • Freedom from sin and the gift of God’s life of grace are offered to everyone. • By living in God’s presence and for the kingdom, people can begin to live in God’s life, the very life that we believe is life with God forever.
