mitzvot - refers to a moral deed performed as a religious duty. As such, the term mitzvah has also come to express an act of human kindness.
Tiny banal acts of human kindness are what bringing the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth is all about.
It's about a Samaritan man walking down the street and seeing someone in need.
It's about having two shirts and seeing someone without and giving one.
It's about the little things. It's about having God's eyes and trying with every blessing we've been given to dish out mitzvot every chance we get.
Jesus doesn't ask us to start some non-profit. Jesus doesn't ask us to become the founder of (fill in the blank) ministries. Jesus doesn't ask us to write some magnificent book or solve a problem globally.
The Kingdom is all about the banal. Becoming ordinary radicals.
Bringing the Kingdom isn't just for the wealthy, or the educated. In fact I'd say it is for the poor and the uneducated. They are the ones who are more available to stop on the side of the road and help a stranger.
If we get to important, too busy, we become worthless in performing banal mitzvots.
The Kingdom is about treating people the way you'd like to be treated. It's about treating every stranger as if they were your closest sibling,
because they are.
