Jesus said,
"What is the Kingdom of God like?"
Luke
13:18
Let no one think the Kingdom of
the Father is a remote reality.
The Father's word, which was from
the beginning and continually creates
all that is and shall be, is continually
at work within the Father's world.
By virtue of their life and particularity
the birds and flowers and all the
manifest abundance of the natural
world bear witness to the glorious
reality of the Father's Kingdom.
And if the natural world spontaneously
proclaims the greatness and the
glory of its Creator should not
those who bear the Father's image
reveal His love and beauty through
their faithfulness? Continually
the Father seeks to inhabit the
heart and mind, community and nation
that He may bring each one and all
together into His loving Presence
and to fellowship with one another.
For this I lived and died and rose
again in time that all who turn
to Him in faith and trust through
Our saving, sanctifying love may
become the faithful members of His
Kingdom both now and through eternity,
and through their witness signal
others to discover and fulfil their
glorious destiny.
