Signs of the Times

The Kingdom

with contributions from Pruden, Stafford Cripps, C. P. Dame, Louis Harrison Kaub, Alvin E. Bell

Dr. Pruden in an article in the Eugene Register-Guard, Oregon

When you hear world leaders speak of a just and durable peace, of a new and better world, they are simply using other terms for what Jesus called "the kingdom of heaven"—a social order in which God is supreme and His will obeyed —and Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you." The attainment of these worthy goals for mankind is not in wishful thinking, or minute planning, but is wrapped within ourselves.

While the world in which he lived was remarkably like our own, Jesus did not speak of a new order, or a new world, but of new men. An outward renovation of the world will not suffice. Only by the regeneration of individual men can that better world ever become a reality.
