The Kingdom of God<br />

or, The Great Controversy Between Good<br />

and Evil<br />

October 23, 1895 Armadale Campmeeting<br />

Talk, The Bible Echo, February 17 & 24, 1896<br />

“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth,<br />

as it in heaven.” (Matt. 6:10)<br />

It may help us to understand more clearly our<br />

own relation to God, and what <strong>the</strong> service of God<br />

means--what religion really is--if we study <strong>the</strong> fact<br />

that <strong>the</strong> cross of Jesus Christ has to do with more<br />

than this earth. We take altoge<strong>the</strong>r too limited a<br />

view of God’s plan of salvation if we confine its<br />

working simply to this world of ours.<br />

<strong>In</strong> this petition <strong>the</strong> contrast is drawn between<br />

heaven and earth, and <strong>the</strong> prayer is that <strong>the</strong> will of<br />

God may be done on earth as it is done in heaven.<br />
