Now why is that so important? Well for a number of reasons – but let me give you three simple reasons why the ministry of the Kingdom of God is so very important. In so doing we will see why it is important that we continue our study on the Kingdom.

1. Jesus made it the #1 priority in all his teaching and preaching.

   All His parables, all His messages were focused on life in the Kingdom. Wherever people were healed, forgiven and delivered from the power of sin and the devil, there the Kingdom came

2. Jesus told us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

   Then He let us know that all the other necessities and requirements of life – what we would eat, what we would drink, what we would wear, etc. would be added to us. How often have we put the cart before the horse – seeking first all those other things – and then if we had a little time over, doing something for God? And we wonder why the Kingdom seems so long in coming.

3. The world needs us to focus on the good news of the Kingdom of God.

   In a world filled with so much bad news, we need to focus on the Good News of the Kingdom as frequently as possible – otherwise we’ll end up just as confused as the many out there who live their lives without God’s light and hope. You see, the only good news to a world without hope is the good news that God loves them and wants to give them peace in their soul and a hope for their life and future.
