SCRIPTURE:

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. (Mark 1:15)

DEVOTIONAL:

When Jesus began His earthly ministry, He launched it with the pronouncement of God’s kingdom: “Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel’” (Mark 1:14–15 NKJV). When the disciples asked the Master to teach them how to pray like He did, He spoke about the Kingdom, saying, “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. …For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen” (Matt. 6:9–13).

The kingdom and its principles were so essential to Jesus’ message and His reason for coming to earth that He continued teaching about it even after He was crucified but had not yet ascended to the Father, “During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3 NLT).

PRAYER:

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. …For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.” In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
