As Jesus spoke of the kingdom, He did not refer to a place. When He spoke of God, He did not refer to Him as a monarch, but rather as a God so active in the hearts of people that the world was being transformed. Jesus is calling forth faith in a thoroughly new vision of life. It was then, and is now, time for the disciples to continue to proclaim the Good News in deed and word. (Liturgy of the Word, pg. 106)
