(Augustine)

Reflect & Respond

1. What or whose kingdom are we seeking, hoping and living for?

2. How does Jesus’ future return make a difference to how I live today? Do I realise that I live on the edge of eternity?

3. How am I praying for God to establish His kingdom in and through me? How am I praying for King Jesus to return?
