Benediction: Active Vision of the Kingdom of God (based on Ephesians 4:4-6)

The love of God - which Jesus made known - helps us to sense the Spirit anywhere and everywhere.  This love is intended for all, boldly claiming that the whole world is God’s work-space. Just as Jesus welcomed the marginalized, the excluded, and the dehumanized, God's love removes barriers so that life and grace can pour out in abundance.  


This active vision of the inclusive and beautifully diverse kingdom of God is the agenda of those of us who follow Christ. May we work for the restoration and redemption of the entire world, which God created, called “good,” and inhabits.
