The Reign of God as rising. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as rising is always coming into view. There can be no place and no time in which the Reign of God is not making itself known among us. It is rising in the midst of us. It is rising between us. It is rising and bringing into view that which is not yet in sight. The Reign of God as rising never stays out of sight - it will show itself. Much like the rising of the sun or the moon, we can expect that it will be a part of our lives. Some days I want to simply stay in bed and not let the day enter into the bedroom. And yet, there it is and I cannot stop that movement. Such is this life that comes as the Reign of God erupts among us and seems to rise up even when it is unexpected. With this comes the notion that this Reign also comes in places most folks would not associate with the God's Reign. That is simply because we do not want to associate this Reign with what is ordinary - plain - and even broken. And yet, it is rising. O God of love and new life, rise up among us and take hold of our vision. Amen. |
