The Reign of God as announcement. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as announcement seems to always have more to say - more to bring to life - more than what is presently at hand. That may be why it is so important to be people who listen. This is especially the case when we are invited to listen to voices that are not our own. For out there in the domain of what is not under our control comes that other voice - the voice of our God - the voice of the Reign of God as announcement. We will begin to hear news that will re-shape the day - especially when the day has been all planned out by what we have decided are our wants and needs. The Reign of God as announcement is meant to turn our heads and look in another direction. May I have your attention - is one way to pull people out of their books and away from their electronic devices. It is then that we wait (ah an Advent word) for a message or a warning or a surprise. The Reign of God as announcement brings all of those words into this day. Listen. O God of love and new life, we wait for your word to bring to life in us something beyond our control and yet firmly planted in your Reign. Amen. |
