Many Jews didn't believe Jesus was the Messiah because his kingdom didn't arrive when he did. As Pastor Bill teaches today, Jesus had to suffer and die first. Without his death on the cross, you couldn't be reconciled to God. What good would Jesus' kingdom be without salvation? Now you are instructed to pray for His kingdom to come. But while you are waiting, you must be working for His kingdom. You've been given gifts and talents that will reap the rewards when used correctly.
