St Leo the Great

Philemon 1:7-20; Ps 146; Luke 17:20-25

The Kingdom of God

Where and what is the Kingdom of God? Jesus said it was ‘among us.’ Other translations say ‘within us.’ Whichever interpretation we use, it is certain that the Kingdom of God has a spiritual nature, not a temporal one. It is in our hearts if we accept it.

Jesus then talks about when He will come again. The answer seems to be: when He is ready. In hindsight, we can understand that He had to die, rise back to life and ascend to His Father before He could come again. For us.
