If the Gospel is simply about loving God and loving neighbour and
everything else that is written is either rumour or optional, this bit
is how to do the love thing.
By hearing it being read, by setting this agenda free in the world,
by disturbing the eary weighted politics of the powerful, the Kingdom of
God is knocking on the door.
'Proclaim' seems to be the name of the game. Shout it out. Never shut
up. Give the cat who's got your tongue a kick. Break the silence.
Here's the love interest of God: setting free the captive, restoring
sight to the blind. This intent of God is the fire in our spiritual
bellies. Intent is a dangerous and provocative thing. Proclaim the
intent of God: frighten the oppressor with the agenda of God. If you
don't do it then precious few will. Go, proclaim the good news.
This is what Jesus did: proclaim the intent of God and in our
hearing, it comes to life. Once you've heard it, it has been set free;
the promise, the intent, the agenda of God. Go proclaim it - if you
dare.
