A Far Different Point Of Reference
It is likely that Jesus would often use the term “Kingdom of Heaven” attempting to get the people’s focus off the “weak and beggarly” (Gal.4:9) and the things that so readily paint a picture of the impossible. Such terminology as “Kingdom of Heaven” shows that it is the Kingdom that is in stark contrast to the limitations of earth and its mindsets. Jesus said, “My Kingdom is not of this world” (Jn.18:36). He just as well could have said, “My Kingdom is not of the mindset of this present age.” Jesus had a far different orientation, a far different point of reference and totally different values that He so longed for people to get connected to.
