There is work to be done, work which is at once ‘witness’ to Christ and work to restore the Kingdom here on earth. Even if that restoration is just a small, infinitesimal part of the Kingdom of God. There is a story I once heard about a small Christian village in Africa that attracted many new members. When asked by a non-convert from a neighboring village asked what it was that was said that attracted so many new members, the response was “Well, when a new person sees how we live together and love each other and care for each other, they also want to become a Christian.”
Thank you for these strong words.
As always timely and reflective.
