Holy Week

"Until the Day" 

"Mark my words -- I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom."   Matthew 26:29(NLT)
    
Reflection
 
At the Lat Supper Matthew records Jesus as having hinted that there will come a day when they will all be together again drinking wine in the Father's Kingdom.

The Gospel Message is not that believers escape judgment and go to a place "out there" somewhere called heaven. No, it is that God, in Jesus Christ, has defeated the powers of sin, death and evil. Those dark powers, the ugly residue of which is still hanging around, will one day have finally been removed. Earth and all of nature will be restored and that includes all people who have chosen to align their lives with Jesus as the leader of their lives. "Heaven" will result in renewed bodies, living renewed lives on this renewed earth.  

Prayer
 
“Lord, since the future is assured, help me to live today accordingly. No more worry, complaining and whining. Help me to be different. Help me to be a true believer.   Amen”
