![]() Why do we love and admire kingdom people like Mary and Joseph, and then not imitate their faith journeys, their courage, their non-reassurance by the religious system? These were two laypeople who totally trusted their inner experience of God and who followed it to Bethlehem and beyond. Mary and Joseph walked in courage and blind faith that their own experience was true—with no one to reassure them they were right. Their only safety net was God’s love and mercy, a safety net they must have tried out many times, or else they would never have been able to fall into it so gracefully’. (Richard Rohrs daily meditation) Could Kingdom people be people who believe the God given dream of one nation who step out in faith to see that nation grow. Advent … a time when we remember the kingdom nation is here but not yet, started but not complete, visible yet un-noticed. |
