The kingdom of God is like a mighty river
A movement of love, truth, community, and justice.
It grows stronger through the ages as people receive it's healing waters
and decide to do their part to remove the obstacles to its flow into the future
that its Creator has in mind and heart.
I am presently watching the movie Amazing Grace which is about those in England who
took the radical stand to abolish slavery..to remove a huge ugly obstacle so that
the River could travel more swiftly and with more beauty.
Jesus used the analogy of a small seed becoming a great tree or a small amount of yeast traveling through the dough to make it the kind of bread it is meant to be.
This message and reality of the emerging kingdom of God is the one thing to which
the radical rabbi spoke, lived daily, and gave his life.
For this Cause...this Rabbi...this Mighty River of God
May we have a passion and a will to dedicate our lives.
