The Kingdom of God is Like

Jesus remained somewhat vague about the Kingdom of God. He would say, "Well, it is like," or "Let Me illustrate it in this manner". I bet that frustrated a lot of people, don't you think? I think there were plenty of conversations at home that went like this: "What in the world was He talking about? Did you understand anything He had to say?" Do you ever go away from reading the Scriptures with more questions than answers? I believe God designed it that way. It's called the mystery of the Gospel.

The Kingdom of God greatly expanded because of Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well in John 4.

Have you noticed in John how the word "believe" or "believed" is used over and over again? Father, help my unbelief!

Until tomorrow or the next blog,

Blessings!
