For Christ must reign until he has put all of his enemies under his feet. (I Corinthians 15:25 NRSV Bible)
Christ's kingdom will be a lot like the Europe of today. The walls of separation will come down like the Berlin wall did several years ago. God's kingdom will unify us, and Christ will lead us to a genuine love for one another.

I remember reading about a delegate who went to the International Missionary Council in 1938. The meeting made a great impression on her. When she returned home, she tried to persuade her friends to buy small globes. Then she wanted them to hold the globe in their hands once a day, as they prayed, "Thy will be done on earth." They were shocked when World War II began shortly after they started their quest for peace.

It is not easy to build peace, but, with Christ as king of our lives, Jesus can radically transform us and our world into what God wants us to be. And God want us to be a follower of Jesus Christ. A follow who loves God and neighbor will all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Dear God, may I love today like you love me. Amen.
