INDESCRIBABLE GLORY, WONDER AND THE PROMISE OF JESUS FOR THE NEXT AGE

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The promise of utopia where humanity somehow establishes a city, nation or world where all the trauma and oppression, and inequality of life is wiped away has been the bane of our global community.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> Somehow these fairy tales and attempts to create a new world order end in failure and death.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The communists killed and murdered tens of millions of people in the 20th century to bring about their perfect society.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> It ended in shambles and revolution.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> Today secular humanism, of which communism was one of its expressions, seeks to rid us of all the evils we have created, only to deliver war, oppression, and the silencing of any voice that tries to debate its inability to save us.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">I find the only hope for our future is in Jesus Christ.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> God alone can deliver us from our woes and wars upon one another.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> Let us look to what Jesus will do as He will return to us to make all things new.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">When I read Revelation 21, I am so awed by its glory, wonder and promise, I realize my words will fail to capture what Jesus is saying to us.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> We live in a world of sin, death, and suffering.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> Jesus is declaring to us a new world order far beyond what humanity can promise or deliver.</span></p>
