“…neither shall they learn war anymore.” Is.2.4 ESV
I do not think that when Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is within you, He meant that it was exclusively within us. God’s Kingdom is certainly His rule in our hearts but I also believe that it flows from us into the world around us. The Kingdom of Heaven may begin in our hearts but all who find peace with God will be lead by His Spirit to be peacemakers in the world. There are many levels to this I’m sure but one impetus would be helping others to find the peace of Jesus in their heart. Every other peace movement should serve this good news--that in Christ, God is not counting the sins of men against them. Another part of that would be that we also do not hold the sin of others against them and practice the peace of forgiveness. 11/25/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
