In a conversation with the Pharisees, Jesus made a surprising statement when he said, “the kingdom of God is in the midst of you” (Luke 17:21). Jesus made a bold claim that the kingdom of God had broken into the world in his person and ministry.

As a child, I didn’t mind a little turbulence when flying. I thought it was fun. But as an adult, not so much. When I’m on a flight that starts getting bumpy, I immediately tighten my seatbelt and grip the armrests. Don’t we tend to do this when things get shaky? Have you ever been in an earthquake, the passenger in a car going too fast, or on a boat rocking back and forth? What do we do in these situations? We look for something to hold on to that will steady us.
