The Kingdom Restored
June 12, 2009
AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
Think of all of the great stories that we love and how they end, and especially of how our hears desire how they end.
Why is that……………………………………because God has written that longing for eternity in our hearts.
“Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5)
We long for “happily ever after” in our own stories, stories that intersect and interact with others’ stories that make up the EPIC STORY-People fallen, redeemed, and restored through Christ’s blood. We long for an epic ending for our story-a Legacy that will last through eternity.
How do the tragedies of our stories define our happiness everafter? Only through the redemption and restoration of our hearts through Christ.
Taste and See that God has written eternity in our hearts. The coming of the kingdom of God restores the world he made.
“The fact is that Christ has been raised from the dead. He has become the first of a great harvest of those who will be raised to life again”. ( I Corinthians 15:20 NLT)
