It was just the right of fun & chaos 👌Love this group - sad the week is already over!

I have read Mark 12 several times. It includes the greatest and second greatest commandment (verses 30 & 31). Today, verse 34 stuck out to me. Jesus acknowledged progress in the scribe’s understanding of God’s kingdom, but implied He was still missing it.

✨ It is possible to live CLOSE to God’s Kingdom by having an awareness and a general interest in a “kingdom-like” life. BUT, we live FULLY in God’s Kingdom when we confess Jesus as Lord, commit to being transformed by the Holy Spirit, and align ourselves with Jesus’ teachings and values. ✨

The question I am asking myself is, “Am I living Kingdom-like or Kingdom-filled?” The second question I am asking is, “Am I helping others cross the line to full commitment?”
