What does it mean to belong to God’s kingdom, this realm not of this world? All we have to do to belong is listen and recognize the truth. We don’t have to work hard to belong to Christ; Christ welcomes all of us with love and compassion, and all we have to do is recognize it.

• For Reflection:
  What do you feel like you need to let go of? What needs to be refreshed in your life?

• What truth is God trying to reveal to you? What truth do you need to acknowledge and even welcome?

• When you think about leadership, how does secular leadership differ from genuine spiritual leadership, especially that of Christ? As you serve in the Kingdom of God, what kind of leadership do you offer?

• What’s God’s invitation to you right now? How will you respond?
