Kingdom of God.
A. Acts 1:6 = To free and restore Israel as a
kingdom on earth.

Jesus.
Note: It's hard to relate to an invisible God.
Jesus personified God. Everything He was,
was also God. Knowing Jesus takes the
fear out of nearing such an all powerful
Being. All that God was and was not was
cleared up in the person of Jesus. He
healed, He forgave, He delegated power
and authority to do the same. This was true
religion. Funny how man continues to
mistake God for a powerful dictator who
demands our devotion and deeds while
declaring God too awesome to approach?
Jesus had great news! God is exactly as He
is as written in the Bible! Read David's
Psalms and know God as David did.
Understand in Psalm 139 how God sees
you. How blessed is he who represents God
as David does!
