An Interwined Reality: Short Stories for the Already but Not Yet "Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." - Matthew 6:10 We live in the intersection of two worlds. This intersection is an age where death and its consequences run rampant, yet it is also an age where the reality of God's life-giving and eternal kingdom is breaking into our present era. At the center of this intersection is Christ's life, death, and resurrection. It is the 'Already' - the work of God's redeeming love in this fallen age, molding and shaping it into the 'Not Yet' - a new creation, resurrected and free from the bondage of death. These 14 short stories are a reflection of what the world once was, what it currently is, and what it is yet to become. This is the intertwined reality that we live in.
