A: The New Testament tells the story of the arrival of God’s kingdom through Jesus. It was a kingdom that was long awaited, but arrived in a way they did not expect. It is the story of Jesus who conquers not through force, but through sacrifice. And it is the story of the pivotal point in human history in which Jesus’ resurrection ushers in the inauguration of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. It is the active invitation for his church to embody this kingdom so that the world may discover God’s invitation to be restored into a life where God inhabits our world in communion with us once again.
