As you can see from the above examples that I randomly picked out while skimming through the book of Matthew, Jesus quite often made references to the kingdom of heaven. And while these are just a few of the examples to be found throughout the word, it is clear that He obviously considered it important to share with us over and over and over the realities of heaven. He was continually sharing about the kingdom of heaven in an attempt to impart a touch of heaven unto the hearts of men. While every truth and every revelation is amazing there is one that is dear to my heart and to be honest, my personal favorite! It is a declaration that He was know to proclaim freely and often and that was only made possible when He 'came, taking on the form of a servant, and in the likeness of men, humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.' Philippians 4:7-8

"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for making the Kingdom of Heaven a possibility to all who will believe!

God Bless!!!
