2) Jesus, being both God and man, ushers the Kingdom of God into the world, but the Kingdom is yet to be fully realized ("now but not yet").
3) Imitating Jesus' teachings, actions and miracles, we help to build the Kingdom of God with our lived response to God's love.]]> 2018-04-19 20:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/253634550 willchoi835 https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/253635406 _{Kingdom of God: Synonymous with Kingdom of Heaven.

2) Jesus is both God and human, and him coming down helps bring his kingdom to earth, but the process is not fully done yet.
3) By acting like Jesus, we help bring his kingdom to earth and also learn how to live in God's love.]]> 2018-04-23 15:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/254469646 willchoi835 https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/254476320 2018-04-23 16:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/254476320 willchoi835 https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/254481370 1) Jesus' teaching of the law.

Jesus prefaces his sermon by saying, "Do not think I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish but to fulfill." Matthew 5:17.  He taught the commandments, altering it to reflect his most important teachings, which are the two great commandments, one of which is the Shema. As an example, he changes the commandment of an eye for an eye, to turning the other cheek, which is essentially the golden rule.  He also teaches us lessons and about what the kingdom of God is like through parables. One example of a parable that teaches us about the Kingdom of God is the classical one of the Good Samaritan. (Luke 10:25-37).  In this, he teaches about mercy, and compassion, and that these traits are part of what the Kingdom of God represents. Also, another example within the Sermon on the Mount is the Beatitudes, where Jesus gives advice on how to be happy, and what it takes to truly be able to earn eternal life, and to avoid earthly temptations. These all contribute to us learning how to act in representing God's kingdom. To sum it up, one is able to use the term Agape, or Caritas.]]> 2018-04-23 16:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/254483794 willchoi835 https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/257575791 Jesus presented his miracles in many ways, all showing and clarifying what the Kingdom of God actually is. He showed his kingdom by performing and demonstrating what he had power over.  An example of one of these miracles would be the resuscitation, not to be confused with resurrection. In this miracle (Mark 5:21-23, 35-43), Jesus demonstrates his power over death, by resuscitating a girl who was dead, simply saying to get up, as if waking her up from  simply a nap. This shows God's power over death, and absolute control. This sheds light on the Kingdom of God, as death is not a factor, in the eternal life. Some other miracles also show power over nature, demons and also the ability to heal.]]> 2018-05-03 10:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/willchoi835/9mdarh64rqk3/wish/257575791
