It is the duty of Christians to create the kingdom of God on Earth among our brothers. This kingdom will exist only when we all have enough to eat, when our children, brothers, parents don’t have to die from hunger and malnutrition. That will be the ‘Glory,’ a Kingdom for we who have never known it.

As children of God, who are our brothers and sisters. Interesting, on the cross as Jesus dies bringing to life the redemptive imagination of his Father's Kingdom. He says to his Beloved disciple John to take Mary to be his mother, and for John to be her son.( John 19: 24-27 ) To be a child of God is to know that we are all created in his image, to know ultimately we are are mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. That all humanity incredibly exists within the boundaries of this family...there are no outsiders. In the Kingdom there is no gap, justice, grace, mercy fill that space...we become one and live as one. There His glory shines forever.
