How do we live in the present darkness of this world as we wait for Christ to return and make all things new?
This same problem confronted seven first-century churches that lived in the chaotic and oppressive world of the evil Roman Empire. These early churches faced dangers from within and without—persecution, pressure, compromise, tolerance, false teachings, and faithlessness. None escaped these dangers unscathed. Some churches were lukewarm, others were on life support, and one was spiritually dead. The church today is no different. We face the same temptations, the same problems, and the same dangers. To his people throughout all the ages, the risen Lord Jesus speaks a powerful word of encouragement, rebuke, and warning. Come and join us as we study Christ’s message to the church as we wait for Eden—where all the evils of the world are erased, and we live with Jesus in unimaginable splendor. |
