Der Jainismus: Eine indische Erlosungsreligion c5.6

c5.6

This interpretation is supported by the fact that the *basileia* is often spoken of as something that can be "entered" (Mark 10:15, 23-25; Matt. 5:20; 7:21; 18:3; 23:13; John 3:5), "received" (Mark 10:15), or "inherited" (Matt. 25:34). These verbs imply that the *basileia* is a realm or a state of being into which one can pass, or a gift that can be accepted. It is not merely a future event, but a present reality that demands a response.
