Christ's point was that the Jews were making so much show of being on the look out for Messiah's coming, expecting him to be suddenly revealed in power, that they failed to realize that Messiah - "the kingdom of God" - was already among them in the humble person of Jesus. Thus he warned them: "The kingdom of God (Messiah) cometh not with outward show...behold, the kingdom of God is among you" (Luke 17:20,21). BACK HOME NEXT
Maana ya Yesu ilikuwa kwamba Wayahudi walikuwa wanajionyesha sana kuwa walikuwa wakimtazamia masihi aje, wakitegemea atadhihirika katika nguvu, wakashindwa kutambua kwamba masihi -"Ufalme wa Mungu"- tayari ulikuwa kati yao katika mtu mpole Yesu. Hivyo akawaonya:"ufalme wa Mungu (masihi) hauji kwa kujionyesha …….. tazama, Ufalme wa Mungu uko kati yenu" (Luk. 17: 20,21).
