Today’s Bible passage is from Acts 1:1-3.
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is near—what exactly is the Kingdom of God? Identified are three options:
- the kingdom of Israel
- “our kingdom”
- the Lordship of Jesus Christ
