"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
"Where is God? Where is heaven?", people always asked about that, even me. In Luke 17:20-21, Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, 'Lo, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you."--
"神的國幾時來到‧耶穌回答說，神的國來到，不是眼所能見的‧人也不得說，看哪，在這裡‧看哪，在那裡‧因為 神的國就在你們心裡‧（心裡或作中間）" --
Where is your God, where do you think the heaven, the paradise, or the kingdom of God is?
I wish for a peaceful heart, that is the heaven; I wish for a place where I can have the rest in the heart, that is the heaven.
People hope for a place where the joy fills their heart and the surroundings, that is the paradise.
Jesus talked/ talks about the kingdom of God, where the Lord's will would be done. The kingdom of God also signifies His second coming and the final judgment. But here, he told the disciples, "the kingdom of God is in the midst of you." --a place in our hearts, among our fellowship. It is so near...
Have we reached it? When did we reach it?
