Already and Not Yet

We have been having some great conversations this week with brothers and sisters in Christ - reminders that Life with Jesus Christ at the centre is marked by His hope, not the cross-your-fingers, tentative optimism that we often hang onto but rather, like so many of God’s gifts, the nature of His hope is simultaneously already and not yet,
Biblical hope is a confident expectation, built on trust in God, and He provides it to us as a a resource to rely on as we are anticipating the things to come even as we have begun to witness their fulfillment.
