“On earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10) What an absolutely beautiful, albeit often overlooked, phrase. And what a beautiful prayer; one that I am going to start praying for the people in my life and world today.
What a beautiful vision for what life and ministry could, and should,
look like. Everything becoming all it
was intended to be: true shalom, wholeness, flourishing.
And we are invited to be participants, as well as agents, in that
process. Living whole lives and bringing
that wholeness, health, and peace into our world. Rolling back the effects of the fall and ushering
in a way of being that is closer to what God had in mind.
Thus, “On earth as it is in heaven,” becomes for us a model for life, a
model for prayer, and a model for ministry.
Thanks be to God!
