"Happy, you people thirsty and hungry for righteousness, you'll be filled," Matthew 5:6.
Long for a time when deep justice prevails? When the paths people trace for their lives show a way to wholesome living? When, life examined, you can witness fairness and equity of behavior toward others? Especially toward young people without privilege, or with it? Toward the elderly without family? Toward the tired, the poor, the homeless, the tempest-tossed? Yearn for righteousness to dwell in the land? When wrong is made right? Ache for an era when people honor the Creator truly, with compassionate action, not merely in lip service? Yes, of course we do! Kingdom of heaven. Well, Jesus says, you've come to the right place. Sky kingdom: the place to refill emptied, despairing souls.
Today we seek out a brother or sister and share God's faithful goodness. Together we give thanks for the new age breaking out into this old one. Kingdom of God. And of his Christ. For ever.
