10.31.23 - Matthew 25:34
How could you participate in the hope of God’s reign in your life today? Who do you know that needs to experience an abundance of love, peace, flourishment, and justice?
“Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world”
It’s difficult, if not impossible, to wrap our heads around the primordial mystery of the “foundation of the world.”
Creation ex nihilo, ordering chaos, the Big Bang–we have clung to many ideas about our origins to make sense of one of life’s greatest mysteries.
The biblical tradition paints a beautiful picture that the beginning and end are linked–the conclusion grows out of the foundation; from the foundation, the perfect love and shalom of God’s own being, will flow God’s kingdom, or reign.
God’s purpose for our lives and all creation is the joyful harmonization of Divine and earthly life, in an abundance of love, peace, flourishment, and justice.
How could you participate in the hope of God’s reign in your life today? Who do you know that needs to experience an abundance of love, peace, flourishment, and justice?
