“The kingdom of God is like a treasure
hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again;
and from joy over it he goes and sells all
that he has and buys that field.” –Matthew 13:44
“Jesus’ good news, then, was that the Kingdom of God
had come, and that he, Jesus, was its herald
and expounder to men. More than that, in some special,
mysterious way, he was the kingdom.” –Malcolm Muggeridge
