Case Study: according to these similar passages found in Matthew and Luke that probably came from an early source. Always provide scripture references and/or brief quotations to support your answers (e.g., QLuke 3:3). If you decide to refer to any of the study notes in your paper, use this reference style: Your paper should be about two full pages, typed double-spaced, with 1-inch margins, using the 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Don't go beyond three pages. Students sometimes get carried away with this assignment. @ When you complete your paper, upload it as a Word or PDF document under Assignment Submission.
Questions:
1) Discuss two examples of types of people for whom the coming of the kingdom of God is good news.
2) Discuss two examples of types of people for whom the coming of the kingdom of God is bad news.
3) Is the kingdom a present reality, a future reality, or both? Defend your answer.
4) Jesus's teaching about the kingdom or reign of God had implications for the social, economic, and political spheres. The social sphere has to do with family and community relationships. The economic sphere has to do with how money and resources are used. The political sphere has to do with governments and how power is exercised. Given Jesus's concept of a world in which God's will is done, i.e., a kingdom of God, what would Jesus say about either social, economic, or political conditions in America today? Use specific examples and develop and defend your answer. You should refer to specific teachings of Jesus in QLuke to make your points. Note that you are to discuss only one of these spheres. Discussing all three could produce a really long answer.
