Teaching:
We are waiting for the final coming of Christ.
We are waiting for the resurrection.
We are waiting for the redeemed creation.
Application:
Filter our works with eternal perspective.
Invest in something we do not see.
Wait patiently for our ultimate hope.
Discussion:
Why do we have to filter our works in the light of eternity?
Prayer:
Father, thank You for the hope of resurrection. My life finds its meaning in the light of eternity. Thank You, Lord, because whatever service I do for Your glory and honor will count for all eternity. Therefore, let me share in the suffering of Christ now as I wait for the future glory. I will wait patiently while serving You until Jesus comes in power and glory. I offer You my life, Lord. Use me. I pray this in Jesus’ name, amen!
