He said, therefore, ‘What is the kingdom of God like, and what can I compare it to?’
Luke 13:18
Jesus said a lot during His earthly ministry to define the church. His teaching provides the foundation of early church teaching. The disciples, and then later early church leaders, built off of what Jesus had to say about the kingdom. He helps us to understand His expectations for His church, and for children of God. The church is a living organism that grows and brings blessing to the entire world. That is what it is meant to be.
Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your love! You are, the great God of all. You are glorious beyond all imagination, and Your children are joyful for knowing You. Father, how can we ever praise you enough? I love you Lord! Your glory is overwhelming. Your goodness is amazing. Your power is absolute. Your wisdom is beyond all understanding. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
