The Reign of God as reconciling. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as reconciling is how hope unfolds. That which is not yet - the fullness of God's Reign let say - is a part of the hopefulness into which we are invited. As we are a people who enter into to the work of reconciliation, the present changes and the vision of what could be becomes that which is already coming our way. Ah - hope abounds. And yet, hope is not complete. There will be unending opportunities in which we will be summoned to be reconciled with others. The Reign of God as reconciling means the Reign of God is coming into being - it is unfolding - it is coming alive - it is taking on what is and entertaining that which is not yet. Wow, that has the making of a whole future of life that is not yet. I find that to be amazing. It is also frightening because reconciliation calls for repentance and dialogue - both of which are not always easy. O God of love and new life, unfold the wonders of your Reign among us. Amen. |
