The ‘Upside Down Kingdom of God’ tells us something about ourselves and that our day to day way of operating, is not the same as the way God operates.
Greatness in his followers is about serving. Leaders are the servants of all and God’s Grace is there for everyone.
The power of God’s extravagant forgiveness is so great, so
beautiful, so mystifying, that it surely cannot help but change us.
We cannot experience it and then go on being closed to others.
Restorative justice calls out oppression and violence for the evil they are and judges them: forgiven.
What is our purpose in life? Someone answered this way, “Its
love, isn’t it. The reason we exist is to love and be loved”
Jesus was very practical in the way he demonstrated love for the world, through all the good and bad times of his life.
Practical love, like all love is found in the big and small things in life, the good times and the bad. Seek it out.
Jesus wasn’t into an easy and attractive message. Not something
an advertising agency would want to address.
He calls us to take up the cross, to share the burden of the world.
Carrying the cross is a way of life. It is about putting God first.
