Just A Few Questions...

Our readings for the day, the third and fourth chapters of Matthew, are chock full of content about which we could spend countless hours, energy, and words unpacking. But for today, I will simply ask a few questions...

Where is heaven?

Why do we normally insist that the kingdom of heaven is somewhere "out there" when the first proclamation about Jesus, and the message of Jesus' first sermon, is that the kingdom of heaven has come near?

What does it mean and how does it affect our lives if heaven is "here" and "near" rather than "there" and "far"?
