From Simply Christian -"In particular, we are all invited- summoned actually- to discover, through following Jesus, that this new world is indeed a place of justice, spirituality, relationship, and beauty, and that we are not only to enjoy it as such but to work at bringing it to birth on earth as in heaven." (92)
I love the bazinga action going on in this passage!
This is not an invitation for some facebook event from who knows. This is Christ beckoning (definition: Make a gesture with the hand, arm, or head to encourage someone to come nearer or follow) us to partake in Life. How precious we must be to Jesus, that in our junk of misunderstandings and mistreatings of Him and His people, we would still be beckoned into a life of freedom; this is the gospel!
Gracious King, help your precious children see the goodness of your gospel and protect us from the enemy's attempts to limit our view of you on a daily basis. Through Christ, Your Kingdom has come and will is being done on earth as it is in heaven. Transform our hearts, that we would live in a spirit of celebration because of these great things. And let us never be lacking in zeal, but always keeping a spiritual fervor, in service to you; that we would be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer, as we witness and co-work with You in Your Kingdom work. Amen.
