                                            Matt. 
                                            13:47-53  
                                            The Father's Kingdom is inclusive, 
                                              for His love comprehensively embraces 
                                              and ceaselessly interpenetrates 
                                              all that is. It is the sum of all 
                                              things. But it is offered, not imposed 
                                              upon each child of man, and all 
                                              are free to accept or to refuse 
                                              the strategy of love which underlies 
                                              all life both here and in eternity. 
                                              The Father's love compassionately 
                                              contains His whole creation, and 
                                              it suffers to the end of time in 
                                              every child of man rejecting it.
