Jesus was from the beginning and with Jesus' birth, death and resurrection the Kingdom is right at our hearts door. Jesus explained how to be eligible and accepted to receive or to be a part of the kingdom of God. Jesus came down from the Kingdom, took off His kingship and put on humanity to teach His disciples and all believers that there is a Kingdom of God and it has been fulfilled. He has given His disciples the knowledge of the Kingdom of God to spread across the world to prepare us. When Herod asked Him if He was a king, He said, My kingdom is not of this world. Therefore the Kingdom of God in heavenly, it is the place where Jesus went to prepare for us. It is where God rules, where He looks down from on us, where He surveys what he has created, what is good and what is bad and where He decides how to free His beloved people who believe in Him and His mighty works. Can you think of examples where Jesus modeled this radical teaching? The very first which comes to mind and which I think is the most important one is "Father forgive them, they know what they do", even at the point of death He still modeled His teachings. Jesus knew that Peter would betray Him not once but three times before the cock crowed and He, Peter became the first Bishop. When they came to arrest Jesus and one of His disciples cut off an ear Jesus replaced it and told them not to fight, He showed love and compassion for His enemies. His eating with tax collectors and sinners, healings and other miraclous signs on the Sabbath, acts of helping the persons who were ignored and hated, feeding those who were there not so much to listen but to receive, He constantly showed the way we should live amongst each other. Everything Jesus did were examples of His teachings, He taught it and lived it. He showed love towards those who loved Him and those who hated Him equally, He showed no partiality. He taught us that our reward would be even greater if we showed love especially to our enemies as well as our friends, after all we all belong to one Father, one creator and it is not up to us to judge our brothers and sisters it is our task to love equally no matter what the enemy has done. His very act of coming down to earth in human form is the very essence of the love He has for humankind. He was hated especially by the very persons who should know better but He still loved and cared for all. His life, death and resurrection is the ultimate example of His teachings. He did all of this so that those of us who truly follow His examples and acknowledges that it is only through Him will we be rewarded when He welcomes us into the mansion He has prepared for us.
