The Urgency of the Reign
Heb 12:18-19, 21-24; Mk 6: 7-13
Already at the start Jesus initiated the Reign with a sense of urgency. It was very true because Jesus was not an isolated reality or a mere solitary person. Jesus was the climax of God's self revelation to the world... the fullness of revelation and the summation of it. Reign was already there in their midst and Jesus was perfectly justified in saying: the Reign of God is in your midst (Lk 17:21). If it were so 2000 years ago, what do we make of today and our responsibility here and now? Do I have a sense of urgency about making present the Reign of God here and now?
