The Reign of God as in Christ. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as in Christ tells us something about the character of life within the Reign of God. It will look like the many visions of the Christ that come to us through Scripture. They are not just visions of what could be, they are visions of what is presently unfolding. When we are in Christ, the Reign of God is visible to the world and our lives begin to be shaped by the hopes and dreams of what the Messiah or Christ will be. And then, moment by moment, as our lives unfold within that vision of the Christ the Reign of God becomes visible in ordinary time. Being in Christ is always a statement about a life. The Reign of God as in Christ is also always about a life that engages the day with the values of the Christ becoming flesh of our flesh. In Christ is never a mere agreement to a list of propositions. It is always the unfolding of God's Reign - now. O God of love and new life, keep inviting us into the unfolding of your Reign. Amen. |
