Things pertaing to the kingdom of God

Act 1:1  The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Act 1:2  Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
Act 1:3  To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God

He died.
Jesus died.
His disciples were devastated.  You can imagine it, the awful sadness, the despair.  You try to make sense of it all and then you realize just a few days later- He's no longer dead, He's back from the dead!

How glorious! How amazingly, unbelievably glorious!

He showed himself ALIVE after He died and He did so through many INFALLIBLE PROOFS. He was seen for forty days and during that time He spoke of what?

'THINGS PERTAINING TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD'!

Our Savior returned to life, brought back from eternal death, and He spoke of THING PERTAINING TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

The kingdom of God!

We've been studying the Kingdom of God and you know what the truth of it all is…

Whenever we study our Bibles, whenever we study about our Savior Jesus Christ, whenever we seek to learn about God- we are studying the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, we are studying the KINGDOM OF GOD, every single time!

This is the whole message of our Savior! He came to preach the gospel, the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven!

We truly cannot study the Bible without studying about the Kingdom.

Is it any wonder that Jesus returned to life and walked the earth for forty more days and spoke on things pertaining to the kingdom of God?  He could do nothing else. He is the kingdom!

Bless us LORD, bless us with You, bless us with the Kingdom!

Teach us the kingdom!

Let us live in YOUR TRUTH!

Speak of the Kingdom of heaven to us!

Let us live with You in the Kingdom of God!

Please, all by YOUR righteousness, YOUR love, YOUR forgiveness, YOUR mercy, YOUR love, always and forever without end!

Bless us!
