"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled," Matthew 5:6.
So Jesus's big message was: Repent! The sky kingdom's about here! So. What does repentance look like? What's life in the kingdom like? (Well, that's we're talking about, right?) Looks like this: Persevere for what's right. Press in to justice. Conform to God's will. Seek out noble action. Rather than ... whining about how terrible things are today ... about how good the good old days were ... giving up ... what's the use? No! God's paying attention; God satisfies the pursuit of justice. Oh, yes, indeed.
We visit with a brother or sister today and remind each other of the banquet feast. And together we give thanks to God for satisfying justice at Jesus's cross.
