“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
Every time I think things can’t get any worse, any crazier, any more heartbreaking…
I have no words for what is happening in Israel and Palestine. There has already been too much suffering, too much death, too much devastation. Unfortunately, there is still much more to come.
Why? Why is all this happening? Why?
Here’s the thing about “why”…it’s absolutely unhelpful. Anyone can ask why? Asking why leads us nowhere. Why provides us with no solutions, no hope, no ways forward.
What the world needs today are Kingdom people who look at the craziness of our world and dares to dream of things not yet and asks, “Why not?”
- The Kingdom of God here on earth as it is heaven ? Why not?
- Peace, genuine peace in the Middle East? Ukraine? Sudan? Congo? Why not?
- The name of Jesus Christ hallowed, praised, and honored by all? Why not?
Show the world the Hope who lives in you. Show the world that there is a better way. Show the world how desperately she needs Jesus.
