Kingdom of God

The days of Lord

"Behold, the Kingdom of God is among you"(Luke 17,21).

What does it mean by the Kingdom of God is among you?

Some say that the Kingdom of God is inside of us who accept Jesus as the Lord and live by it. 

I believe that the Kingdom of God is in loving relationships with others in which people find love and  peace in the community like the Heaven.

Some experience the Kingdom of God on earth as long as they live in the loving relationship with others, giving themselves up for the sake of others and the community.

I often meet those who feel unworthy to be forgiven and loved by God. It is true that God is not tired of forgiving, but we are the one who is tired of asking forgiveness.

God's grace is like a switch that lights up a dark room at once. We do not know who turns the switch on and yet we know the big difference between wandering in the darkness and seeing everything clearly in the brightness.

Jesus says in the same way, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it...For just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day."

Everything will be revealed in the light of the Son of Man when the days come.

In the month of death, we calmly wait for the Lord's coming, trusting in God's mercy and striving to cultivate the loving relationship with others in faith and hope.
