The Kingdom Of God Is Here Already, Yet Not Yet Here
The Kingdom of God (which is, in part, a mysterious internal palace in which we experience righteousness, peace, joy) is, in lightning flashes, here already—we can leap into it & yet it is not yet fully here. We sense the shimmering presence of Christ in the joy which pulses through creation. Christ strolls into our rooms with his wisdom and guidance & things change. Prayers are answered, we are healed, our hearts are strangely warmed. Sometimes. And yet, we also experience sin, deep within & all around us. Our sin, which steals our peace and distorts the trajectory of our lives. And the sins of the world, its greed, dishonesty and environmental destruction. But in this broken world in which we have a spiritual adversary, we still experience the glory of creation; “coincidences” which accelerate once we start praying, and shalom and joy which envelop us like sudden sunshine. Portals into this Kingdom include repentance, gratitude, meditative breathing, and absolute surrender
