exiles, we are.

The world of today is temporary in comparison to the Jerusalem of our future. Just as God speaks through Jeremiah to the exiles in Babylon, He will return and graciously fulfill that promise…in due time.

Matthew 24: 14 tells us that the end will come when the Kingdom’s gospel is preached in all nations. Our goal, mission, purpose as a church is to make God’s name great among all the peoples of the world. While we are here on this Earth, in Babylon, our time has purpose and has been under God’s sovereign rule. While we pursue our mission as a church, through God’s grace and power, we are to look forward to our coming King and our future return to Jerusalem. His promise will stand.

“…I will gather you from all the nations and places I have banished you…and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” -Jeremiah 29:14 b

my rain boots are out back

With each rain comes a new since of light.

The air clears and the humidity fades… it’s refreshing.

Out in the back, they’re completely out of sight.

Here I am, caught inside – missing the blessing.

 

I’m glad I know now, my rain boots are out back.
