The gospels of Matthew and Mark both record at the outset of His earthly ministry, Jesus declared “the kingdom of heaven” is at hand. As followers of Jesus, we are no longer citizens of the world; we belong to the Kingdom of God. An understanding of what that involves will help us to focus on the character qualities Jesus describes we possess, as citizens of God’s Kingdom, in the beatitudes. Join us this morning as we consider what it means to be a citizen of God’s Kingdom.
