"Ripple Effect"

During this Lenten season, we’ve been learning through Luke that the kingdom of God is at work now and is yet to come.  The Pharisees have been observing Jesus carefully but do not see the living presence of God’s kingdom.  In today’s reading, and the verses following, Jesus is telling us to keep doing what we are doing now – following Him and spreading His gospel.  Jesus’ answer to the Pharisees is the same that He gives us also.  The kingdom is not found in faith about Jesus but in Jesus.
