Witness to Faith
‘The Kingdom of God’ is a term which we frequently meet in Luke’s gospel. It is a metaphor used by Jesus to refer to Gods reign in the world being accepted by humankind. The kingdom is not identical with the Church. Wherever the values, which Jesus lived and preached, are operating, even though the Church may not be established in that place, the Kingdom is already there.
