The Bible begins in a garden and ends in a city, the city of God. And with that ending comes an altar call for the spiritually thirsty, for all who would believe in Jesus for salvation. Until he comes again, that invitation is still open!
A New Hope
Streets of gold; endless light; healing life; the presence of God -- those pictures of heaven speak of great hope ahead for those who know Christ. Jesus will come again, but the story is only beginning for those who serve him!
Genesis, Redux
Genesis 1 will be revisited. The God who makes all things new will not only evict evil’s presence but recreate what was the domain of evil’s activity. The new heavens and earth will be the culmination of what our transformation in Christ is beginning now.
The Wrong Side
Before the new can come, the old must be put away. One day evil will be dealt with, justice will prevail, and Satan himself will be thrown into hell. Be sure you don’t end up on the wrong side and go with him!
Hallelujah!
We could use a HALLELUJAH! That word is used four times in the Bible, all of them during Heaven’s celebration over Jesus’ triumphant second coming. In the midst of trouble, hurt, and confusion until then, let’s lift a HALLELUJAH even now!
