Reflection of the Week- July 6th 2009

Re-envisioning our lives as children of the living God is a worthwhile enterprise. To do this try taking a step forward. While the routine and the every day are important, it is similarly quite essential for Christians to focus on the future culmination of the Kingdom of God and its bearing on the present. A re-envisioning of our present lives means that we are never to consider them on their own, but we are to know and embrace the truth that they are to be seen as integrated with the New Testament writings that mark out the “day of Christ” as the time in which Christ will reign not only our lives, but over everything. This future perspective should saturate the present in opening new horizons for redeeming and renewing action now.
