The Reign of God as sinking down. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as sinking down has that movement to it so that no experience within the world will be one in which God is not present and available. It is present for those who need support and encouragement and also available to offer a way to live in the world even when it is in broken and trying to consume us. The Reign of God as sinking down becomes a place of refuge that is put in front of those who need such a place. Too often, when folks are sinking down or have reached the bottom of their lives they are alone. Yet even there when all seems lost, the Good News of the Reign of God is one that says I am here and We are here. The we by the way - are all the followers of this God who also make themselves available to sink down and be that living presence of God to all - no matter what has brought them down. The Reign of God as sinking down is a life-project for the followers of Jesus - a life-character might be a better way to say that. We are the way folks begin to have an understanding of the power of God to rescue and heal and save and protect and honor all people no matter what their status may be in there world. We are sinking down because we are always standing with the beloved of God - our sisters and brothers. O God of love and new life, strengthen us to abide with all whose lives feel ass though they are being lost and left behind. Nurture in us the vision of your Reign of Hopefulness. Amen. |
