A Post COVID-19 World

What are you hoping for in a post-COVID-19 world? A return to the way things were? A robust economy in six months? No more worries about a resurgence of the pandemic? I hope for these things, too. But it is unlikely any of them will be realized in the near future. This is because COVID-19 will fundamentally change human life in terms of our economy, safety and health in painful ways we are just beginning to glimpse. But this painful reality leaves room for another reality to blossom forth – the Kingdom of God – which God is at work making real in the midst of the horrible tragedy we are experiencing. Indeed, God is calling you to move into this future right now by placing this Kingdom reality at the core of your life. When you do, you will experience abundant life, grow as Jesus’ disciple and sew seeds of real-life hope in the lives of others. Or, to phrase it like Jesus, you will begin to discover how you are living right smack-dab in the middle of the Kingdom right now.
