"The Ultimate Question"


Luke 13:18
"Then Jesus said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? How can I illustrate it?"

Here it is! The Ultimate Question that every minister should be asking themselves just as Jesus did! What is the Kingdom of God like and how can illustrate it? God has called ministers to declare His kingdom and that is the message that needs to be proclaimed from the pulpit.

What is the Kingdom of God like? What does it look like? How do people act there? Who is in the Kingdom of God ? What things matter in this Kingdom? What do people do in the Kingdom of God ? Who is in charge in the Kingdom of God ? These are the questions that should matter to those who claim residency of this Kingdom. These are the questions that should consume our minds, hearts, and more so our actions!

How can I illustrate it? Not only over the pulpit, but in my lifestyle. Living a life that is reflecting my residency in the Kingdom of God . People need to know that Jesus said the Kingdom is here now and begin to alter their ways of living to display that of the Kingdom. As ministers we need to not speak what is of our opinion, but rather what is that of the Kingdom and in doing so diggingdeeper to find the truths of the Kingdom of God!

 

Ask yourself, "How can I illustrate it?"
