Gratitude Toward Others
Often today, when we say "Thank You" we really mean "I owe you". Our relationships are a constant struggle to stay "in the black", to keep from owing anyone. But Jesus tells us that in his kingdom, our relationships are about staying in the red, about giving to each other. "Thank You" in God's kingdom should affirm our relationship with the other person. We should really be saying "I love you."

Jesus’ resurrection wasn’t the end of the story; it was the beginning of God’s new creation. The Resurrection is God’s first step toward reclaiming creation, and we get to be a part of it. By choosing to follow Jesus, we leave the old reality dominated by sin and death and step into God’s kingdom, where we find life. This new life has already begun. And yet we’re also still waiting, because God’s kingdom has not yet come in full. How do we live in the tension between the Already and the Not Yet?
