Material by email, with phone call to confirm arrival, to: [email protected] Notes from Morland Vicarage For the last few years, the Church throughout Britain has spent a few days praying a simple line from the Lord’s Prayer: “Thy Kingdom Come”. We’ll be doing it again this year, from 10 th - 20 th May. It’s a familiar line, but what does it mean? It’s easy to forget, in the midst of Jesus’ teachings and extraordinary life story that his central message was very simple: “the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Repent and believe the good news.” That’s how Jesus launches his ministry right at the start of the Gos- pels and everything he taught and lived thereafter was a manifestation of what that meant. The idea of the Kingdom of Heaven (or the Kingdom of God – the two phrases are Summer Food Service Hours; Tuesday: 5pm -9pm / Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday 12pm-9pm / Sunday: interchangeable) goes right back through the Bible. It stems from the understanding 12pm-8pm that God created the world and ordered it. He was its king. But from the second chapter of Genesis, human beings set themselves up as its king in place of God, Our relaxed self-service coffee lounge is now open! Come into the pub, up the stairs, sit back & relax on our comfy with disastrous consequences. The Bible attributes human hunger, labour, injustice couches- hot beverages & a slice of something nice. and death directly to that choice. And it also suggests that this choice had wider cosmic consequences, unsettling the whole of creation and leading indirectly to all Come in & try our new seasonal summer menu- a range of light lunches, snacks, evening meals & smaller portions. sorts of other problems. It leads to a creation no longer ordered by God. The con- th sequences of that include a loss of justice – bad things randomly striking whether Date for your diary: Lyvennet Up Festival will be on Saturday 18 August- live music, bar, BBQ, fun & games & people deserve it or not; humanity turning in on itself, becoming indifferent to one much more- our chosen charities this year are; First Responders & Crosby Ravensworth School. More details out another; and loss of value to the creation, with human beings consuming the world for their own benefit, rather than ordering it wisely for creation’s own wellbeing. soon! Strangely what first appeared to be a bid for freedom (encapsulated in Adam and Crosby Ravensworth, CA10 3JP / www.thebutcherscrosby.co.uk / 01931 715500 Eve taking the forbidden fruit) turned out to be an enslavement, the creation of a chaos we cannot solve and cannot escape from. The origins of our faith stem from a longing, first expressed in Old Testament Juda- ism, for God’s kingship to be restored, for God to rule over his creation again. But for that to happen, we need to relinquish our desire to run everything for our own benefit. We need to turn back to God and live his way. Jesus came to restore that very kingship. That was the good news: that with him, God’s kingdom had returned – so repent and become part of it. His whole life was a series of choices to place his father on the throne, in place of his own will. He sought to live by the greater good of God’s will, rather than satisfy his own needs and desires. It is a radical and coun- tercultural idea. It threatens all in power and authority. Christianity has never sat easily with the rulers of the world. Most have tried to subvert or tame it. But it also challenges us, for we too have power and authority over our own lives. The prevail- ing command of the world is to satisfy our own needs and desires. There is no ethic or morality that can command our allegiance beyond our right to choose our own path in life. Of course, God does grant us freewill, a gift he will never remove from us, but that does not mean that every choice is good. In fact, only one choice is good – to restore God as king; to choose his will above our own. And when we do that, when we place our freewill at God’s disposal, we find that he works powerfully through us. He transforms our lives when we pray, because our prayers give him the permission he craves to work through us. And then works so powerfully that we discover what a great King he is. He transforms the world because his love powers through us when we do what he commands and serve others in his name. He liber- ates us from the consequences of our own choices and places us in a fresh new world: his kingdom, where justice, peace, order and love rule. If you long for a better world, I invite you to join in the prayer for God’s kingdom to come, on earth as it is in heaven, starting with us and sweeping throughi the whole of creation.
