The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand

Scripture - Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Observation - Kingdom is the Greek word for the authority of a King, and heaven was the word they tried to use to describe where God and the Angels resided. The authority of the creator of the universe is coming to earth, and we need to change our hearts to prepare for him. This scripture was spoken prior to the ministry of Jesus Christ, that authority of the universe is reigning now on earth. Jesus is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Application - How now should we live? Knowing that the ruler of the universe is here, amongst us? We need to change our minds, change our hearts, change our lives to acknowledge him in everything we do.

Prayer - Dear Jesus, help us to honor you. Help us to be worthy of the honor you gave us when you sacrificed yourself for us so that we could spend eternity, starting right now, with you. I pray that we would love you, and honor you in everything we do.
