His Kingdom there will be no end - Why?

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Advent Season :  3rd Week : New Liturgical Year : Wednesday*

*Gospel : Lk 1:26-38*

*First Reading : Is 7:10-14*

*His Kingdom there will be no end - Why?*

*1) Gods Kingdom is built on Eternal Values*

We believe that God has no beginning and end. God is eternal.

So Kingdom of God is also founded on the Eternal values 

A kingdom which is built on Eternal values will have no end. Therefore *his Kingdom there will be no end.”*

*2) Various Eternal Values*

*Love* Love is one of the eternal values. Love has no end. Therefore a kingdom built on Love will never end 

*Relationship* This the another Eternal value. It is only through relationship that we communicate with each other and also with God. Kingdom built on such a value will have no end 

*Forgiveness* This is one of the strong pillars of the Kingdom of God. Such a kingdom has no end 

*Sacrifice*  It is very much found in the nature of God. Kingdom built on these has no end 

*Humility* This is the one which makes the kingdom very strong and powerful 

*Truth* another name of God. Truth has no end, so kingdom of God has no end 

*Generosity* Giving ineslf, is the very nature of God. Kingdom built in such a value can't be destroyed 

*Peace, Joy, Happiness* This is what Happened when Jesus was born. They are the fruits of the God's kingdom. Such values can't be destroyed, so also the Kingdom of God

*3) Eternal Kingdom and My Life*

We always speak about the Life and eternal life. 

Eternal life has no end. Our life is built on the foundation of eternal life. Such a life can't be destroyed. So our life has no end 

*4) Need of Living our life with Eternal values*

Eternal values are Eternal. They are there for our sake and we are created for eternity 

A life which is not lived for eternity becomes a aimless and useless life 

By adopting the values of the eternal kingdom our life can also be used for eternity

*5) My membership in Eternal Kingdom*

Kingdom of Jesus lasts forever. There is no end for it. 

What about my membership in that kingdom? 

Do I have membership in it? Have I failed to acquire membership in eternal Kingdom? 

What can I do to make my membership strong and valuable? 

The kingdom has no end. What about my life? Will it end or will it continue for eternity? 

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
