Do you doubt anyone who seems to flaunt the rules? Are you anxious listening to one who insists on speaking to your heart? Does it seem strange that a true leader would be such a backwoodsman?
Do you too seek a sign of the kingdom?
Do you wonder if the kingdom is really here or will ever come?
Our world is complex. Seeing Jesus in the traffic, the buildings, the workforce, and the passers-by is difficult. Seeing Jesus in the mountain, the sea, the sky, may seem easier but is it? The beauty, the perfection that seems of God is constantly veiled. Jesus sat at a grand banquet with those considered unclean. Jesus was rebuked by those he called his hometown. So where we ask is he? Do I find him in the rubble of the past or the bright awning of today? Is he in the in the high rise or the tent city? Where is his kingdom?
Jesus, we are skeptics at times. Answer us in ways we can hear. Amen.
Blessings, Caroline
