Pastor Tim reflects on the empty tomb’s uncertainty before the disciples encountered the Risen Jesus.
What do the days we live in indicate? What should we truly be anticipating? As life and the uncertainty of the world swirls around us, God calls us to focus in our anticipation.
Keeping in mind what is coming can cause us to focus even more on worldly matters, but it shouldn’t. It should help us care more about the world knowing Jesus.
As we look toward the future, there is an urgency mission even as we find ourselves waiting for God’s fulfillment of prophecy. But it requires us to keep our focus.
Our world moves us to ever increasing indifference, but as we pick up in 2 Peter 3, the Apostle calls us to be ready for Jesus’s return.
When we feel so far removed from the things to celebrate, can we still have a reason to rejoice?
When we feel like we’re standing in the DMV and missing the paperwork we need, what does God’s Word say to redirect us?
When Jesus says that we should get the log out of our own eye before helping someone get a speck out, what does He have in mind? Is He calling us to stop making any moral judgments?
God sometimes feels very far away, but even then, He is faithful.
