"Onse Vader wat in die hemele is, laat u Naam geheilig word; laat u koninkryk kom; laat u wil geskied, soos in die hemel net so ook op die aarde; gee ons vandag ons daaglikse brood; en vergeef ons ons skulde, soos ons ook ons skuldenaars vergewe; en lei ons nie in versoeking nie, maar verlos ons van die Bose. Want aan U behoort die koninkryk en die krag en die heerlikheid tot in ewigheid. Amen." (Matteus 6:9-13)
Matteus 6:9-13
Waaroor het Jesus gepreek? Wat is die goeie nuus? " EN nadat Johannes oorgelewer was, het Jesus in Galiléa gekom en die evangelie van die koninkryk van God verkondig en gesê: Die tyd is vervul en die koninkryk van God het naby gekom; bekeer julle en glo die evangelie." (Mark 1:14-15)
Now, if you were going to say what Jesus gospel is all about in one phrase, what would that one phrase be? His good news is just this: the Kingdom of God life in God s presence and God s power has now become available to ordinary people like you and me. It s right here, right now. Especially the good news was good news because it was true for people who thought they were a million miles away tax collectors, prostitutes, Gentiles, anybody who wants to know Jesus says, in His person the Kingdom of God has now come to Earth. It s available for anybody who wants to come in. This is Jesus good news. John Ortberg

"Toe het God ges ê : Kom Ons maak die mens as ons verteenwoordiger, ons beeld, sodat hy kan heers oor die vis in die see, die voëls in die lug, die mak diere, die wilde diere en al die diere wat op die aarde kruip. Genesis 1:26 "Toe het God hulle geseën en vir hulle gesê: Wees vrugbaar, word baie, bewoon die aarde en bewerk dit. Heers oor die vis in die see, oor die voëls in die lug, oor al die diere van die aarde, ook oor die diere wat op die aarde kruip. " (Genesis 1:28)
Die koninkryk storie Die koninkryk van God was nog altyd daar, van die begin af. God se droom was van die begin dat ons sal deel hê in hierdie koninkryk. Iets gaan verkeerd, Adam en Eva hang uit saam met die duiwel en luister na sy koninkryk. Daar is dus nou n paar alternatiewe koninkryke. Nou word die koninkryk weer beskikbaar deur die lewe van Jesus Christus.
"God rescued us from deadend alleys and dark dungeons. He s set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much," (Colossians 1:13, The Message)

Contrary to what many might assume, the prayer is not, May we go to heaven from earth as soon as possible but, May your kingdom come to us on earth. It s not a request for abduction and escape from the world, but a plea for transformation we could even say revolution within this world. Brian Mclaren
The well-known line For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever is not in the original text, but it provides a conclusion to the prayer for use in public settings that is both beautiful and radical radical because it claims for God three things that the Roman Empire and emperor would love to claim for themselves. It expresses, in a sense, an upraised fist against every earthly authority that claims to be absolute along with an upraised hand and heart in praise and commitment to God. I can imagine no greater spiritual practice for people seeking the kingdom of God than to pray this prayer not as some sort of magical incantation, not as a mindless mantra, but as a way of dislodging our attention and affection from secondary distractions and refocusing them on what matters most. I have found it especially helpful to pray the prayer slowly, pausing after each line, to savor the meaning and let it resonate in my mind and heart. Doing so seems to create a pathway in the soul that leads us to God and into God s kingdom. Brian Mclaren
"Maar soek eers die koninkryk van God en sy geregtigheid, en al hierdie dinge sal vir julle bygevoeg word." (Matteus 6:33)
That is why the real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind. We can only do it for moments at first. But from those moments the new sort of life will be spreading through our system: because now we are letting Him work at the right part of us. It is the difference between paint, which is merely laid on the surface, and a dye or stain which soaks right through. CS Lewis
