Bible Verse
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Meaning
With His directive in Matthew 6:33, Jesus emphasizes the precedence that the Kingdom of God should take in our lives. The rule of God, characterized by His righteousness, is to be our foremost concern. The verse assures us that when our priorities align with Christ’s, our needs are taken care of.
Another profound point that Jesus makes in this scripture about the Kingdom of God is its present availability. The kingdom is not just a future promise but a present reality that can be sought and experienced now. The Kingdom of God embodies the reign of God’s love, peace, and justice. So when Jesus calls us to seek first the Kingdom, He calls us into a transformational journey that begins in the present.
