Towards Tomorrow Dec. 2014 | Page 5

Tomorrow. Jesus said not to worry about it. Not even a little. Even though it’s coming faster than we want, or perhaps slower than we can imagine.  Jesus said not to worry about it.   Tomorrow. SO THEN, DEAR FRIENDS, ! SINCE YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, ! MAKE EVERY EFFORT ! TO BE FOUND SPOTLESS… BEARING IN MIND THAT ! The church looks forward to it. On the one hand, we look forward to it knowing that Jesus could come with it. On the other hand, we look forward to it knowing that He may not. It sounds like a contradiction. It isn’t. If He comes, there is a great reward; if He doesn’t, there remains a great call. Both are gracious gifts of God. OUR LORD’S PATIENCE ! MEANS SALVATION…! 2 PETER 3.14-15!   As a church, we realize that the greatest hope we have is the ultimate return of Jesus Christ. But since He has yet to come today, at least as of yet, we look towards tomorrow, realizing the greatest call we have is to be used by God to make ready those He has gathered among us and those He has placed all around us.   The Towards Tomorrow Campaign is designed to move us, as a congregation, towards tomorrow with passion and purpose, enthusiastically embracing the privileged call God has given His church. Let us pray, both individually and collectively, that we would sense His call and that each of us would discover his/her part in fulfilling it.
