With the coming of the Christ, our deepest longings and yearnings will be fulfilled.
God does not wish our suffering and struggle to continue, but is ready to gather us in his arms, and calls us to prepare for his arrival.
If we live as though Christ was reigning now, we will always be ready for what he is about to do.
God’s church is to be a place of cleansing and healing and preparation for mission.
Jesus helps us to identify the oppressed and brokenhearted and to see how we can become agents of renewal and restoration.
