Dallas Willard said that often Christian may just be flying the plane upside down. If this is the case then left is right and up is down. So how do we fly the plan upright and see the world as Jesus sees it? More than anything else, Jesus spoke about his kingdom. He told stories saying, “The Kingdom of heaven is like …” He proclaimed the good news saying, “The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” In other words, “The Kingdom of Heaven is present … it is here.”
If this is the case, then why is it that we have heard so little preached about the kingdom in recent years? Perhaps we have forgotten what Jesus said, or maybe we have made our faith about something other that what he spoke of.
The Kingdom is the place where God’s rule or reign is present. This is why Jesus said the “Kingdom of heaven is within you …” We are the bearers of this Kingdom when we live under his reign and his rule. So the question begs, “Are we living this way?”
