“When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. Luke 10:8-12 NIV

The kingdom of God has come near. This is the message to be shared. In praying, Jesus tells us to ask that the Father’s kingdom and will shall be on earth as it is in heaven. Do we not strive to have an eternity in the presence of God, in His home, heaven? Then why would we not want earth to be a taste of that which we are to receive in our eternal residence. Yes, the kingdom of God had come near. It is here for the taking. We must turn our lives over to the care of Jesus, knowing that He died for our salvation. Oh, yes! The kingdom of God is near! Don’t reject it! Give yourself to Jesus!
