The Reign of God as beginning here. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as beginning here means there is no line - no waiting - no special passes needed - no need to move to another place in order to be within the domain of God's Reign. When we roll or spring out of bed - we are there in the middle of it. When we strap ourselves into our cars or step onto the bus or straddle our bikes - we are there in the middle of it. When we are on vacation - we are in the middle of it. The Reign of God as beginning is the Reign that is at hand. It is always ready for us to walk in the midst of the life it brings in every time and in every place. The moment at hand may hand us a terrible situation that is in need of a glimpse of the Reign of God. We are invited to be that glimpse of the Reign of our God as it would appear in real time and in real life. Each episode in this unveiling of God's Reign in and through our lives may not change the world. And yet, we still unveil it as we engage those around us. We may be one voice or one act in time - but we are that glimpse that many people long to see and hear. Today we will all be drawn into moments of God's Reign that becomes available to others through us. And - we may find that others become the presence of God's Reign for us. O God of love and new life, always shape our day with the presence of your Reign and the life it offers for all. Amen. |
