Sunday School..."Proclaimation of GOD's Kingdom".


This morning the lesson was..."Proclaimation of GOD's Kingdom"....where have we heard this or where have we come across this...a simple answer is from The Luminous Mysteries...the third mystery. So what do we understand by Jesus proclaiming God's Kingdom on earth? Jesus came in person just to do that and HE was the much awaited Messiah who was to share with us the knowledge and the messages that comes with it through GOD's living word and that is our BIBLE. As we listen and understand through the parables that Jesus shared in Matthew 13...the parable of The Sower..the parable of The Weeds and the Wheat..the parable of the Mustard Seed and the parable of the Yeast we are being made to understand the mysteries of GOD's kingdom which is not a place or buildings but actually the values of everyday Christians living and which are peace,joy,love and righteousness.
Jesus was asked why he talks in parables and HE answered in such manner..in verse Matt 13:13...Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. With this I came across this passage from Isaiah 6:9-10

And HE said, "Go, and tell this people:

Keep on hearing, but do not understand
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive

Make the heart of this people dull
And their ears heavy
And shut their eyes
Lest they see with their eyes
And hear with their ears
And understand with their heart
And return and be healed."

Thanking all for giving time to read this posting...God bless all..
