Stirred By The Scriptures

We live with what some people call “smiling despair”. We truly are in a bad way but we cover it over with the smiles that come from the stuff in our lives that anesthetize the pain. Truth is we don’t realize how much our heart is longing for a satisfaction that will not be found in this world. I want to close my thoughts on the sermon that never was by going back to the phrase Paul used in I Corinthians - “until he comes”. We are to remember Jesus until he comes. We need to remember all he has done for us, the forgiveness of sins and a relationship made possible. We are also to remember the promise of his 2nd advent and the hope for everything to be made right. In the midst of a broken world and a hard life, hope and joy are found in Jesus and all that is to come.
