Karen Armstrong Quote
The Kingdom of God has come upon you.’30 The Kingdom became present whenever somebody had the compassion to admit a needy stranger to his home, when that stranger received food from another and then offered something in return. Peasants, Crossan explains, had two overriding anxieties: Shall I eat today? and Shall I become ill and fall into debt? In Jesus’s system, if one person had food then everybody could eat, and there would always be somebody to care for the sick.
