Remember What God is Doing

Remember What God is Doing “He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’” (Revelation 21:5). We’re going to get into some more Revelation verses, but wanted to start with this one because… it’s present tense. God is active and working in the world today, making all things new. He has left us his Holy Spirit, so we may be the hands and feet of his kingdom in the here and now (John 15:26-27). All the while, Jesus continues to prepare a place for us, and intercedes and advocates on our behalf– even when we’re in the midst of our most dire circumstances (1 John 2:1–2). Just as the Thessalonians experienced, this does not mean that life will be without suffering or pain. But it does mean that Christ is not indifferent to the world’s brokenness.  He is redeeming his land, and inviting us into his good works, until the day his kingdom comes.
