A living will
Janet Scott reads from the gospel of Matthew

‘Your kingdom come, your will be done.’ (Matthew 6:10)
The parables in the gospels give us many metaphors for the kingdom of God; harvest, a wedding, a treasure, a party, a judgement. It is not a territory, but more connected with time, the eternal breaking into the now. Matthew’s gospel makes it most clear that the kingdom is about the reign of God: it exists where people carry out God’s will.
