Pic: This is Khotso, the aspiring new leader in Grabouw. We were in Meeting 8 when we asked him what was a blessing to him. He responded, “The assurance that I have salvation is a blessing.” What a remarkable guy! *
+From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Matthew 4:17+
Written by Jung
Let’s take a plane ride to move to another country.
When you are near the border, and it is announced, “We will arrive at our destination in 30 minutes,” what do you do? You get ready, right?
You tidy up your appearance and practice how to present yourself to whoever will receive you in the new country. Additionally, you familiarize yourself with the local laws or customs to fit in and avoid any trouble.
Because it signifies that you have another opportunity with your life, doesn’t it? A fresh start and a chance to leave behind any mistakes or unpleasant memories.
The kingdom of heaven is similar in that regard. It is God’s gift to us through Jesus Christ, offering another chance to become who we are meant to be and live an abundant and fulfilling life.
The kingdom of heaven is near, so let’s prepare ourselves.
