Author Description

The kingdom of God is contradictory-mysterious, obvious, simple, impossible. We see it in the life-long parable of Jesus' heart attitudes and motives toward his Father. Jesus said that the greatest commandments are for us to love God from a pure heart and to love our neighbors as ourselves, and he spent his life showing us how to do that. So we long for the increasing intensity of his presence in our lives just as he longs for our increasing hunger to be one with him. We invite you to participate with the mystery of God's call to his kingdom, to the heart attitudes and motives that open us to him and to his people as we follow Jesus' life and teaching through the eyes of Matthew.
