From the Archives: What Keeps Us Going?

"And he who was seated on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'"
-Revelation 21:5a

From the January 26, 2021 Word From the Pastor:

Beloved KACF (Yeah, before our name change!!),
 
What is the main thing that keeps us going? What is the main thing that keeps anyone going? I’ll tell you what it is: hope. Everyone needs hope. What is our hope as Christians? Listen to the words of Jesus in Revelation 21:5, “Behold, I am making all things new.”

Did you hear that? Read that statement again slowly. What do you see? What is Jesus really saying? Look at each word:
  • Behold: Look! Pay attention! Listen to what I’m about to say because it’s that important.
  • I: Jesus is doing this. He’s the one who has the power to do it and he is the one who has the character to follow through with it.
  • Am: He does not say, “I have” or “I will”, but “I am.” Jesus is currently, at this present time, doing this.
  • Making: It’s what he does! He works! He makes it happen!
  • All Things: Not some things. Not most things. ALL things!
  • New: No more regrets. No more struggles. No more temptation. No more suffering. No more difficulties associated with this present fallen world. Jesus is making all things NEW.

Church, be encouraged! Jesus is working. He’s working in this world, he’s working in our church, he’s working in your heart. And he will NOT stop, until the work is finished and all things are made new.

Love,
Pastor Josh
