In heaven on earth
In the fourth chapter of the book of Matthew in the Bible, we read an account of Jesus, just prior to beginning his healing and teaching ministry. After spending 40 days and nights in the wilderness and overcoming the temptations of the devil, he journeyed through Galilee. In verse 17 of the same chapter, we read, “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Why did he say the kingdom of heaven is at hand? What is this kingdom of heaven, and how do we find it?
