This week's "Reflection" by Matt Sasso, Pastor of Student Ministries
JESUS IS COMING BACK!
It is a truth that many have different reactions to. For some it is something that has been said so much that it lost its significance and urgency. For others it is an understated reality. And for followers of Christ it is the hope that we hold onto, as we wait for His return.
This week we looked a parable where Jesus uses the imagery of a wedding to communicate that His return would be delayed. Jesus makes it clear that we do not know the hour or day, so we should be ready for His return. In a world and culture full of views about religious opinions and philosophical views, the church has one of the most important messages to tell the world.
Despite our culture's attempts to discredit Christianity, I still believe in the power of the gospel: the power to love, heal, and forgive broken people. Paul said that this seems foolish to the world, but to those who are saved, it is the power of God.
I think it would be good for us to reflect on that truth alone. Despite those who discount faith in Christ and the ability to know Jesus personally, let’s spend some time focusing on one of the most powerful messages that Christianity has to say and the power that it has in our lives.
