When our eyes are open to see, and our ears are open to hear, and our minds are attune to conceive and perceive, we are aware of the tangible reality of the present Kingdom of God right now in our midst. We find that Jesus is accessible today as a reality and not merely a historical character. We become aware of the work of the Kingdom in areas like justice, beauty, and sharing the gospel.
To conclude, let me simply encourage you today by reminding you of the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:58, “So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless” (NLT). In the present Kingdom all things matter and everything counts. Perhaps this is why Jesus placed high value on “cups of cold water” offered in his name. Your life in the Kingdom counts. It matters and is significant.
