7. I Really Like the Dance Metaphor- Beautiful

Jesus was forever talking about the Kingdom of Heaven but it can seem confusing. How can it be here now yet still in the future?
The answer is that God is here now in the Holy Spirit who indwells all Christians. By definition. And I add, at least to some degree. We are all very fallible while we search for that unconditional love and purpose that opens the door to the dance.
Most won’t recognize it because it is indistinguishable to our human eyes; Jesus compared it to a mustard seed * or yeast in bread dough.
The future Kingdom will be unmistakable.
* a mustard seed was an idiom for “something so small as to be insignificant” in Hebrew culture of that era
