After 14 or 15 months of looking at God as, this week begins a new ride: The Reign of God as all new. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as all new is the challenge of a lifetime. We are invited to move out in a new way into a new day with a vision that has changed the meaning of everything we thought we knew to be true. The Reign of God as all new makes us look at what we heard in the past with new ears and that which we have seen with new eyes. Many times, we heard and saw exactly what the Reign of God revealed - but we would not or could not go there. With the tomb empty and Jesus already down the road ready to greet us, the Reign of God is ready to receive us as participants along the way. Therefore, we are invited to listen again - see again - fling wide the door and watch how the Reign of God of old is still the Reign of God - and yet it is more available and more accessible as Jesus says "follow me" or "come and see" or "I will meet you - out there." Even in a world that we claim to know so well - routines we have come to expect - days that keep rolling along the way, there is this newness that is a part of the promise of God's Reign offering us a wonder-filled imagination for life. O God of love and new life, fill us with the wonder of your Reign. Amen. |
