Our Lord Jesus Christ began His public ministry with a call to repentance, and immediately He told His hearers why they must give heed. They must reorient their whole life, He said, “for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” John the Baptist had issued the same call and the same admonition. Jesus’ repetition of it at the very beginning unquestionably authenticates John’s work and confirms his relation to Jesus as His forerunner. The Lord’s prophet, the last and greatest, prophesies. Jesus Christ fulfills.
No greater reason for the need of repentance is possible, if by “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” we understand that God Himself has come to reclaim His creation and exercise His lordship over the human race. In other words, heaven—that is, God—will reign, and He will become King indeed. This coming had been promised by Israel’s history and Israel’s prophets. Jesus Christ is the promised and expected Redeemer and Savior.
Because Jesus Christ was God incarnate, His very presence made the assertion “is at hand” (or “has drawn near”) a literal fact: where God is, there is the kingdom. Still, He will reign in the hearts of men and women who repent; He will not force His reign upon those who reject Him.
