Defining the Kingdom of God

“The kingdom Jesus proclaimed was neither Christianity, church, nor Christendom (words that carry all kinds of unhelpful associations in the minds of many people…). Above all else, Jesus understood the kingdom to be a community — that amazing divine and human community of loving friendship that God had envisioned from the beginning of all creation, and that has remained his constant and central purpose through all the unfolding ages since.” — Chris Webb, God Soaked Life: Discovering a Kingdom Spirituality
