the kingdom has everything to do with for getting our selves. He sends the Kingdom of heaven. It's here. It intersects with our world and we don't see it cause we can't man up and take our cross and follow. I don't spend the time I need to understand what this looks like. I read this and it was so familiar that I put my hand on my chin and got to the end before I knew it, and I realized that I can be a stumbling block to Jesus. I can have the things of men in mind and it inhibits the kingdom of God from moving. Kind of puts me in my place.

Matthew 16:23-28
