The Reign of God as announcement. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as announcement is a reminder that prior to seeing or doing or agreeing to anything - the Reign of God is already at hand. It is a tap on the shoulder or a breeze the moves across our faces. It is the fullness of the Reign of God already entering our space - our lives. Think of Mary - yes, the Mary of Nazareth - poor - a part of the left out - one of the insignificant ones - one who will still be merely a number on a census ordered by the powers of the world. Before she says "Yes," God is already announcing that which is at hand - Mary is favored. Really - in this kind of a world? Yes. The Reign of God as announcement is the presence of the powerful love of God that includes any and all and then uses any and all to bring forth the Reign of God in our time. Before any action - the promise is at hand. O God of love and new life, open our ears and our hearts as your Reign continues to arrive among us. Amen. |
