Matthew 24:14

Matthew 24:14

I. The King is our Lord Jesus Christ.

II. The seat of His kingdom is the soul.

III. The spirit of His kingdom is wise and beneficent and holy. Every kingdom has its peculiar character.

IV. The progress of His kingdom is unostentatious. It is irresistible, yet noiseless, like many of the mightier forces in Nature.

V. The boundaries of His kingdom are the boundaries of the dwellings of humankind.
