Carrying on with the Lords Prayer series…Your Kingdom come, Your will be

done. Jesus often taught about his Kingdom through parables, using subtle,

complex, interesting language that sort to subvert. They reveal that those

who knew him face-to-face found it as difficult to grasp the kingdom as we

do, because the truth of the kingdom is too complex and other-worldly to be

fully revealed. It won’t fit on a billboard. It doesn’t translate into

slogans. It isn’t interested in winning. A challenging truth in these days,

but one vital to our comprehension of who we’re called to be, and what

we’re called to pray.
