Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.” (Luke 17:20-21 ESV)
We are fixated on the external, the visible, the now. We obsess with it so much that we cannot see what is happening within us and the lives of others. Even our "religious practice" can become so external (and Pharisee-like) that we ignore the rule and reign of Christ in our lives. He has come to change us from the inside out. May He reign.
