In this insightful Abounding Love episode, I continue a series in the Gospel of Luke about the Kingdom of God, where we now dwell. Luke's presentation of the Gospel shows the contrast between the Kingdom of God, and the kingdom of Satan [or the world], where we used to dwell. In the Kingdom of God; love, light and peace reign through the Spirit of Life in Christ in God. In the kingdom of the world, Satan is found, where fear, darkness and conflict reign. It's a life ruled by the lust of the flesh and desires of the world verses a life ruled by the Word of God.

We begin this message where we left off in Part 5, at the end of Luke, chapter 14. We must be willing to leave all we have to be a disciple of Jesus. We are to be the "salt of the earth." During Luke's Gospel the disciples are "near" the Kingdom of God, but the Kingdom of God doesn't yet indwell them. That doesn't occur until Pentecost described by Luke in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2. There's joy in heaven when one sinner repents. Think how much joy Christ has produced by His sacrifice on the cross. The millions [even billions] of people who have come into the Kingdom throughout the generations. Jesus uses Parables to demonstrate this joy.

Join me in this podcast as we find the same joy even in the circumstances we find ourselves in now. Jesus points out that the Law reigned until John the Baptist, but since then, the Kingdom of God has been proclaimed. I cover this proclamation through the Gospel of Luke, chapters, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Selah!
