THE KINGDOM IN OUR MIDST IF WAKEFUL CHRISTIANS harbour a wish for heaven to fulfil, they wish not for an escape from reality, but for a deeper acquaintance with reality. When wakeful Christians lament this life, they grieve this world's trivialization of itself that obscures the more profound reality of the kingdom of God in our midst. Yet, more often wakeful Christians celebrate life, finding the mark of God's hand in this world and beginning their praise with the discovery of the holy here.
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory" (Isaiah 6:3), the seraphim sang. Wakeful visions of otherworldly praise reveal angels singing of God's reign on earth as it is in heaven. J.
