Enter the kingdom!

DOROTHY H. JONES

If someone told you you'd never left the kingdom of heaven, would you conclude that such a statement was a theological—or a theoretical—abstraction?

Our recognition of the kingdom of heaven as an established divine fact indicates the degree to which we understand Christian Science and may determine whether or not we properly demonstrate it. The parables of Christ Jesus describe this kingdom and how to find it.

Not once in these descriptions did Jesus imply that this heavenly kingdom was a geographical location. He declared, "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."^{Luke 17:21.}
