Sermon 11.04.12 :: New Perspective

“The Kingdom of God for Jesus is less a happy state of affairs in the first place than God in his evident rulership . . . Many of Jesus’ most radical statements are not closely connected at all with expectancy of the coming kingdom, but rather with the realization of the present rule of God in the course of daily and natural events.”     

-  Richard Niebuhr

“The kingdom of God is a country we have not yet visited but whose King has come to our own land.”
