Our Salvation story begins with a nomad with a barren life, who by faith accepted God’s promise, covenant and call in his life. In culminates in God sending His son to live on this earth and walk on this earth as man, and then, His son willingly suffers a cruel Roman death on a cross for so that we may have Salvation. What does it say to a production driven world like our today to just be giving something, to just be giving grace and mercy? No wonder our Faith is so transformational and life changing.

From the creation story we discover the value of all human beings. God wants to be with you. The same God who took “chaos” and put it in to order is still among us today putting chaos back into order. The same God who breathed life into Adam is the same God who wants to breath life into your situation.

We are to live as though that kingdom is fully here now, embracing others and loving well so that, when Christ returns, he might find us blameless and living at peace.

There is hope because God is a good Father who loves us. There is hope because we are still God’s people.

The Kingdom of God isn’t about finding the minimum. It’s all about experiencing God’s grace and realizing there is no price tag on the healing that comes from Jesus giving his life for ours. We will never full understand the Christian journey if we spend our time figured out “how much is this going to cost” because as long we’re standing back “calculating” it simply means we haven’t full surrendered yet and that’s what Christ is inviting us too…full surrender.

Don’t forget who you are! Resist the temptation to be co-opted by a system that isn’t interested in God’s salvation. Don’t be seduced by political systems that lead you to believe they will give you power. Trust in God’s way of doing things. Trust in God’s kingdom.
