The whole of the Christian life is a season of waiting. We’re waiting for Jesus Christ — our Savior and King — to come again and set everything right. Waiting is difficult. It can eat away at your hope and faith. The Church has been waiting for nearly 2,000 years for Jesus to return, and the longer we wait, the greater the temptation to let go of hope. How can we keep hope alive while we wait?
Revenge is off-limits for a Christ-follower because it’s not the way of Jesus. But the desire to get even is so powerful. How do you resist it?
David learned important lessons about the life of faith while on the run from Saul. We need to learn those lessons too.
Last year, the Surgeon General released a report about a major public health crisis. He said the most prevalent health issue in the country isn’t cancer, it isn’t heart disease, and it isn’t obesity. It’s loneliness. The gospel answers our loneliness by pointing us to the true faithful friend, Jesus Christ.
