He told us that the kingdom will be among us when we love God with our whole heart and soul, and when we love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus came not as a great king or president but as a humble baby. That is what people have not understood. He proclaimed the coming kingdom of God. There has perhaps never been a time when this is more urgently needed than the present.
Men have more power than ever, and the power of their weapons is frightening.
The relationships of people, races, and nations, are unsolved, and those who have money rule. Jesus says we should become poor. If we obey him and give up worldly privileges and power over people, our hearts will be freed for the kingdom of God. Nations are building their freedom and security on the most dangerous weapons that have ever existed. Yet we are called to build our security on something else - that which is of God.
