God’s Home is With(in) Us

"It was through that kind of love-agape-that Jesus came into the human world. It was that kind of love that led Jesus all the way to death - I believe so that he could be truly steadfast in “staying with us” all the way through the human experience, even suffering and death. It was that kind of love that proves death is not the end-not for Jesus, not for love, not for us.

When we love in that selfless way, the Kin-dom of God shines through in the midst of us. Jesus showed us what God dwelling among us might look like - not shining glorious victory, not riches and jewels and streets of gold - but humble service, here on earth, bringing God’s presence near. God’s home is with us and within us; we reveal glimpses of that Kin-dom each time we practice agapaic love."
