Food for Thought: The time has come

From Soul Graffiti: Making a Life in the Way of Jesus by Mark Scandrette:

The announcement by Jesus that "the time has come" was partly an invitation to recognize the connection between the epic story of creation and the particulars of our lives in the here and now. Where we live and the times we live in are the place from which we will seek the God that can be found. We are not here by accident. We were made for this time and place. And our lives are pregnant with meaning and purpose.
