The integration of cross and kingdom should cultivate a cross-shaped kingdom-perspective that flows into all theatres of life. The kingdom of God is the healing, rescuing sovereignty of the Creator God, working in the power of the spirit through the death and resurrection of Jesus to bring about the future consummation of heaven and earth. This ultimate future is anticipated in the present in the cruciform vocation of all Jesus’ followers who, in their multiple different callings, are building for that kingdom here and now.
