What Is The Kingdom of God? (#AskBishopBarron)

[patrickfitzgerald]

Lutheran here, I think this was very helpful. Thank you.

I've always struggled to put my finger on the definition of the Kingdom of God/Kingdom of Heaven. Thank you for boiling it down to Jesus himself being the Kingdom, and the "bringing back together" of all the laws and authorities back into the divine Law. I'd never thought of it like that, and now I'll never be able to forget it. Thanks so much.

I am glad I am getting your Lent journey via email and I'm glad to have found your videos on youtube.  Thank you and God bless you and your work which glorifies him.

The Kingdom of God is what we feel inside our soul. Jesus said to look inside ourselves. Moses said it is not up high where someone else has to go get it and bring in back down for you... I feel sorry for all who never make the connection that the tiny whisper that "Tells us things great, beyond our knowledge" (Jer) IS God's word speaking directly to us and I feel sorry for those who have never performed an act of obedience to God's spoken word and then received the feeling of his separate living presence inside their soul for real. I've been connected to him personally for 50 years now (since I was seven) and now his word is giving me music he wants published. I have 22 videos and revelations all from his word now on You Tube and more coming every day and I don't even know how to play the piano but with his Spirit all things are possible. Amen.

You are teaching millions. It's worth getting right. Jesus is Lord!

Your two minute commentary is a good answer to Atheists who ask, "Why doesn't God show himself or herself to me?" The short answer is those in the Church are ambassadors for Christ, the second Person of God. So, mysteriously (root for sacrament), the Christian who the Atheist is seeing is the answer.

What a wonderful explanation! THANKS for this!

[alanbourbeau]

When people ask what is the kingdom of God? Well i think of it as a peaceful, loving place where there is no hatred, violence, sadness, weeping and other negative feelings. It's a place where's there's peace, harmony, justice, righteousness, unity. That's how i look at it.

Divine, human. Thought, matter. A permanent and pervading state of mind established upon the Earth by the glory of God. Isaiah 9:6 and 7.

[TelemachusHeeler]

This answered my exact question. Thanks! 😀

[gterrymed]

The Kingdom of God is Jesus. When I seek Jesus, surely things are added unto me.
Call Jesus and Believe! Thank you Very Much for this most simplistic answer to a 40 year old search of mine . . . Definitely longer than 30 years cause I was 17 30 years ago and it's much older than that for me.

Happy Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe!!!

[joeb]

Father Barron, I am curious what is your thoughts on N.T Wright, the famous Anglican Scholar's thoughts on the Kingdom of God? He centers it on the 1st century Jewish understanding of New Creation where God would renew creation itself, and establish his Kingdom on Earth as in Heaven.

[glennabate]

Christendom is the Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in Heaven.
