By our standards, the ways of the kingdom seem so weak, so insignificant, so unworthy of the bother. The kingdom is in the small voice, in the unobtrusive act. Yet it cannot be shaken! We cannot market it, yet it advances forcibly. We cannot build it; we can only receive it.

Are you looking for your calling, wondering what God wants you to do? Paul is saying, open your eyes and look! You're surrounded! …Some of your relationships are good, some are bad, but they all have potential for new meaning now that you're a citizen of the kingdom of God. Live out that citizenship —"hold out the word of life" within this unique world of yours! That's what it means to be an insider!

The gospel is not a magic wand that makes our sins and vices disappear from one day to the next. It delivers us, a step at a time, as we walk with the Holy Spirit.

We somehow find the idea of dropping everything to follow Jesus more romantic than that of our taking him back home with us. But as a rule, we are called to follow him back into our own communities.
