Jesus taught that the Kingdom was present in his own person and ministry (Matt. 12:28; Luke 11:20), inaugurated on earth in his disciples and the church (Matt.13:24-30, 36-43; 16:19). He made clear that the Kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36); it is first and foremost a heavenly reality, which one can either enter or be excluded from. The opposite of the Kingdom is the realm of fiery Gehenna (Mark 9:42-48). Jesus calls God Father seventeen times in the Sermon on the Mount throughout his teaching ministry. Indeed, the revelation of God as Father and Jesus as his Son is a distinctive element of his message (Matt. 11:25-27; Luke 10:21).
