Today I saw an evergreen tree which, when rooted in correct conditions, can prosper season after season, year after year. Similarly, but to an even greater degree, if we are planted in God's Kingdom we will flourish into eternity, that is, forever! When on earth Jesus told us about His Kingdom - that it is of Spirit (John 3:5); that it is not of this world (John 18:36); that His Kingdom is available to all of us now (as it lives within us when we choose to receive it)(Luke 17:20-21); that it is a question of changing our direction to enter into His Kingdom which is good news (Mark 1:15) and that it is when we recognise how impoverished we are without God that we are in the right heart space to receive His Kingdom (Luke 6:20). He gave many parables to explain and describe His Kingdom.
