I learned back in my seminary days that the Kingdom of God preached by Jesus and the disciples was a reality that was ” Already, but not yet” ie. It was already here ,becoming in our midst, yet not yet reached its completion and fulfillment ! Our role ,as true disciples, is to facilitate its completion by word and deed! The early Church got us off to a great start ! Shalom ! Fr Pat Ipolito, retired

Good article Bob. Why would we expect less from God this world and especially our country have been tuning God out at every chance they get. A guy comes in wearing a dress at school and how dare they question it and build him his own bathroom. A coach kneels and prays before a game and he is fired and the school district sued. Heck the media spent all Easter Sunday looking for people in church so they could blame them for the spread. Meanwhile people are on top of each other living out of tents and shooting up on the streets of cities and it goes unreported

Responding to Anonymous regarding the second part of the last line… I’m not sure if this is what the author intended but my own interpretation is rather than a ‘new creation’ I think about God’s creation in terms of the evolution of how we live our daily lives and even our environment has changed over the last 2000+ years. This is true even today with what is likely to create a ‘new normal’ at least for a while. Jesus’ message and God’s plan for his children are steadfast and remain the same throughout time but how we communicate it, make it relevant, and respond by example during this time is how we can choose to actively participate.

I was left confused by the second part of the last line, “…so we can be part of the new creation that God is bringing about on our worn-out planet.”
‘anyone want to help clarify this? Thanks.

This was great! It helped me understand what was going on back then. Now I’ll have to check out why that way of living was never passed on… or was it ?

The Holy Spirit was alive and well in these Apostles, preaching, sharing and caring. Thank you Bob for sharing your Spirit.
