His disciples said to him, "When will the (Father's) imperial rule come?" He said, "It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' 'Rather, the Father's imperial rule is spread out upon the earth, and people don't see it." (113 Thomas)

We live in God's domain.

We are usually blind and deaf to it. But we are immersed in God's domain.

We are distracted. We are preoccupied. We are afraid.

Beauty abounds. Love abounds. Grace abounds. We are inheritors of abundance.

Yet we often reject the reality of abundance for the illusions of worry.

The synoptic parallel is Luke 17:20-21. Above is a Russian icon of the Apostle Thomas.
