Followers of Jesus embrace the tension of living as kingdom people on earth. While Jesus ushered in the kingdom of God, we still experience the everyday realities of the world. We live in the overlap the world and the kingdom. To participate in the kingdom of God now, to usher in God's rule and reign on earth, we repent, reach and restore. We repent of our ways of thinking that are not in line with God's desire for creation. We reach out to those God places in our sphere. And, we restore those we reach to relationship with God, humans and themselves.
