ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

What would that look like?

If God's will was done on earth as it is in Heaven:

• there would be no murder today.
• generosity would overflow everywhere.
• no one would be cheated or swindled.
• kindness would prevail around the globe.
• many would reconcile with their enemies.
• slaves would be set free!
• wars would cease.
• weeping would end.
• addictions would not exist.
• hatred would be exiled.
• the poor would be blessed.
• the sick would be cared for.
• the depressed would rejoice.
• prostitutes would start washing feet.
• tax collectors would become benefactors.
• Good Samaritans would be everywhere.
• abuse would be unheard of.
• ...

How does God's will get done on earth? 

By God's people? 

It's not a magical thing that God mysteriously makes happen.

It's a practical thing that comes about as a result of the obedience and responsiveness of God's people.

Matthew 6:9-13  (LB)
Our Father in heaven, we honor Your holy name.  We ask that Your kingdom will come now.  May Your will be done here on earth, just as it is in heaven.  Give us our food again today, as usual, and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.  Don't bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.  Amen.
