If we don’t understand the Kingdom, we will never understand how to pray “Thy Kingdom Come…” Every kingdom has a king, and to participate in the resources, you have to surrender to the laws of that kingdom. Through the parables, Jesus demonstrates and teaches the kinds of attitudes that will keep us on the path, give us clarity for the way to live and have His perception to see and understand. When we are willing to listen, he can always reroute us and keep us in intimate relationship where we are protected and receive all the benefits of living in the Kingdom.
