Christ is telling us not to think about tomorrow; how you are going to eat or how you will get what you’ll wear. Or, at least He’s saying that it is not the most important thing. The Kingdom is what you should seek first.

So, I guess we should ask: what is the Kingdom? Is it Heaven – the place you may go when you die? That doesn’t make sense, because then Heaven is tomorrow, if at all. So, He’s talking about now. Not only that, He’s taking about being in the present in an Eastern sort of way. Not just paying attention to what is around one, but trusting in God and living in the Kingdom, while alive, in the moment. Being reborn every moment. Thy Kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven.

What does “heaven” and “earth” mean, in this context? How do they apply to living right now?
