In Matthew 24:14, it is stated that the Gospel of the kingdom must be preached to all nations before the end comes. Stephen emphasizes the significance of this Gospel, which Jesus preached during His earthly ministry and which the apostles continued to proclaim. The kingdom of God is distinct from worldly kingdoms, and understanding its nature is crucial for believers. The desire for positions in the kingdom, as demonstrated by the disciples, reflects a misunderstanding of its essence. True greatness in the kingdom requires embracing the Father's will, symbolized by the cup Jesus drank and the baptism He underwent. Living as true sons of the kingdom involves being discipled by Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us into His image. The kingdom is characterized by love, and believers are called to seek it above worldly concerns. Stephen urges believers to be diligent, to take the kingdom by force through self-denial, and to develop Christ-like character. Ultimately, the kingdom is a gift from God, and believers must actively engage in serving Him with reverence and fear, ensuring their lives reflect the values of the kingdom.
