“Jesus' kingdom was not like the popular expectation. He used the phrase 'kingdom of God' with a different meaning. His kingdom was not of this world (John 18:36). It was not like the kingdoms of this world. It was the kingdom of God, a supernatural kingdom. It was invisible to most people (John 3:3)-it could not be understood or experienced without the Holy Spirit (v. 6). God is Spirit, and the kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom.” PeopleWorldDifferentSpiritualUsedSpiritJesusThis WorldHolyExpectationsUnderstoodInvisibleKingdomsPhrasesHoly SpiritKingdom Of GodDifferent Meanings Author:Tom Harpur

“What we need to understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and expectations others put on us that we don't want to fulfill, then they lose real meaning and steal the joy from our lives.
