To Imagine the Kingdom

“Christ is constantly inviting us to imagine, and so to encounter, the Kingdom of God. He proclaims that the Kingdom of God is at hand, and teaches us to pray that it should come. In every word, in every gesture he shows us what the Kingdom us, since he himself bodies it forth. To imagine the Kingdom is always a prophetic act, always a critique of this world, always a call to hope and action.”
