A few thoughts….
The Kingdom of God, as proclaimed and enacted by Jesus, is a deeply subversive force that undermines the foundations of unrestrained capitalism and the power and politics of the status quo.
In a world of beastly forces the kingdom is a call, not to accommodation, but cruciform resistance.
In allegiance to Jesus, the Kingdom offers hope, stirs imaginations and creates fresh opportunities to explore what it is to be human and how to live in community.
Jesus’ proclamation and enactment of the Kingdom was a direct assault on the systems of domination and oppression.
Jesus called on his followers to adopt a new social agenda in which the broken are blessed and the hungry are fed.
He still speaks the words ‘Follow Me’
