Little attention is usually given to the space or place of the
kingdom. Yet Matthew employs the distinctive phrase "kingdom of
heaven" and also portrays Jesus as Immanuel (God with us). In this
volume Patrick Schreiner argues that by expanding one's view of
space one can see that Jesus' purpose is to reorder the space of
the earth in Matthew as the heavenly king. Jesus pierces the
barrier between the two realms in his incarnation, and the spaces
of heaven and earth begin to collide in his ministry. Therefore, in
Matthew, Jesus does not just promise a temporal or ethereal
kingdom, but one that is located, one that has a sense of
rootedness. Jesus is granted authority over this space and inspires
people to follow him in this construction project. The spatial
kingdom begins in his body, and he extends it to his church by
promising his presence.
