Lent 2018 Devotional: Day Twelve

“But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; indeed, he has prepared a city for them.” –Hebrews 11:16

There can be a temptation to think of heaven as someplace far away. Yet we are called to live as a foretaste of the kingdom. Through Jesus, the split between heaven and earth is rent; the kingdom is near. The heavenly city is within our imagining, even if it is not currently in our reach.


How can you live into the promise of the heavenly city today?

Mary’s response, marked by this same signal, shows that she is included in this line of those called by God for a purpose, and that she has the strength and faith to respond, “Here am I.” But unlike those who have come before, here a  woman  is shown answering this call. This breaking of the gender barrier signals a shift in what God is doing in the world. When Mary offers her own, “Here am I,” it is to a wholly new work: God’s own birthing into the world, taking on flesh to ...
