What is to be has not yet been revealed. Despite being in the early days of our own ‘exile,’ as we live in post-Christendom and post-modern times, we believe God’s Kingdom will surely come in fullness, because of a Cross and through crosses born daily by Jesus’ apprentice-disciples. Through faith-full living, in small rural settings too, God’s People set up signs of God’s reign, of a Kingdom already present, its fullness yet to be fully revealed. Enabled by God’s Spirit in our daily investments and involvements, the prayer is answered: ‘Your Kingdom come, Your will done on earth as in heaven.’
