Have you wondered where our world is ending too? Is it getting better or worse? Some people might be divided about the world’s future. Pessimistic Christians believe that the world would ultimately be destroyed, and God will create another world. They do not bother to transform the world and its communities. They also distance themselves from political reality and build dykes against social involvement. The Resurrection of Jesus to them is merely a spiritual reality of faith and nothing more.   But there are also those who are optimistic about the world’s future. The Resurrection of Jesus to them is more than spirituality. They do not separate the spiritual from socio/political experience, but see the historical Jesus’ death and resurrection as basis to do mission, by this I mean destroying the deadening vices and values that destroy society. Starting with self and then in our community.   Resurrection to them also means us to raise and be activists in making this world a better place for all who live in it. They take serious the Lord’s Prayer “Thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven”

 

Friends I hope that you would be optimistic about our world and country. Be God’s vehicle in transforming our deadening world of hatred, dishonesty, corruption, and war into a new world of peace, love and freedom. Without your committed action the new world will be a distant future. So let us rise together and bring down God’s Kingdom
