The Reign of God as a pathway . If you have any comments adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as a pathway makes it real. It is not a dream world - it is not something out there after this life - it is not like a movie we watch of someone who really lived it all. It is a pathway. It is something into which we step - we take to the road. For too long, too many folks looked at biblical images and faithfulness as something we thought about - something we were simply to agree to - something we believed. The Reign of God as a pathway puts all that thinking and believing into 'boots on the ground.' The Reign of God as a pathway becomes the journey we each enter today as we turn the character of God's Reign into our character. It is as though as we are seen - so is a bit of the Reign of God. We are not getting some place - we are there already - the Reign of God is the pathway - the life - the love - the gift of life that reveals the graciousness of God's domain into which we claim to live and walk and talk. O God of love and new life, take us along your way of life that we will be a living presence of your Reign in this day. Amen. |
