The Upside-down Kingdom
The Kingdom is where everything is turned upside down. Those who are marginal, those considered not respectable, are suddenly proclaimed as the people who are called to the Kingdom. The part of us that is weak, broken, or poor suddenly becomes the place where something new can begin. Jesus says, “Be in touch with your brokenness. Be in touch with your sinfulness. Turn to God because the Kingdom is close at hand. If you are ready to listen from your brokenness then something new can come forth in you.
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
- Matthew 6: 33
Reflection Question: Where in my relationships or community could embracing my own or others’ brokenness allow something new to emerge?
