READ JOHN 1:1-5, 9-11.<br />
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was<br />
God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without<br />
him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light<br />
of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.<br />
READ LUKE 17:20-21.<br />
Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus<br />
replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor<br />
will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”<br />
Jesus talked so much about the kingdom of God that the Pharisees started to ask<br />
questions about it. What does it mean that the kingdom of God cannot be observed?<br />
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the<br />
world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize<br />
him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.<br />
What does it mean that Jesus is life?<br />
What does it mean that the kingdom is in our midst?<br />
What does it mean that he is light?<br />
React to the idea that the world was made through Jesus but the world did not recognize<br />
Him. Why didn’t his own receive him?<br />
How does Jesus’ response remove all limits on what the kingdom of God can be right now?
