He began his ministry by announcing the arrival of the kingdom of God, and in his death and resurrection he defeated the powers of sin. Yet, we still live in a world consumed by darkness. We suffer, we grieve, we lose hope. The kingdom of God is a present reality for us now, but not all of God\u2019s promises have been fulfilled. We live in the tension of the \u201calready, but not yet.\u201d In this series, we will be exploring the time between Jesus\u2019s resurrection and Pentecost, in some traditions called Eastertide.  We will consider how these stories and experiences inform our lives as we continue to live in the reality of God\u2019s kingdom having arrived, yet not in its fullness. How are the different stories reflected in our own lives? What do these stories teach us about living in the \u201calready, but not yet\u201d tension? This week, Joan Kelley led us through the story the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, exploring how Jesus meets us in the times when things do not go as 'we had hoped'. How might we encounter the Risen Christ as we look for him in our everyday lives? For additional resources, visit our website.
