註釋
Jesus himself recognized that the kingdom was not to be known by virtue of a position but a daily interaction with God Himself through His eternal purposes for each and every one of his children. From the very beginning of the creation of mankind, God was interested in establishing a kingdom identity in His most precious creation. As a matter of fact, He created us according to "his image and likeness" sharing and imparting His DNA to all of us. In Genesis 1:26, God says, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Survival to Success: How to Play the Game of Life and Win defines DNA as "a nucleic acid molecule that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all living organisms (p.50)." That daily interaction is best understood when image and likeness is represented in our daily walk, talk and behavior. If God states in His Word (Bible) that He created man (woman) in his own "image", then these findings support the Bible's evident truth that human beings were created by God to be like God. The Book of Genesis uses the words "image" and "likeness" to parallel our degree of resemblance to God. Because man disobeyed, that resemblance was tarnished and shattered our identity in Christ. Through his sacrifice and resurrection, Jesus restored identity and reclaimed our lineage in Him.Jesus never sought a physical kingdom. He was, is and will always be King, no doubt. His Kingdom is beyond the visible and transcends the natural world. When Jesus learned that he was pursued to be King, he quickly scattered, "Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone" (John 6:15, New King James Version). Living the Kingdom with purpose invites you to make a personal connection and redefine your daily living as we continue to embark on the journey of time and space of the 21st century.
