Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is”, or “there it is,” because the kingdom of God is within you.”

Here is that recurring theme: when is the kingdom coming?  When will our servitude end, and our Messiah overthrow this governent and establish a kingdom where at last we have honor and authorit?  It is not to be.  Jesus say it plainly – the kingdom of God is within you.

It is a changed heart, a servant attitude, humility not arrogance, faith not sight, peace, not power.
