Spring? - May 6, 2008

Good Tuesday morning to you! The sun shines brightly already this morning as spring has arrived in more than just a date on the calendar. The bush is budding outside the window, the green is showing in lawns... and bugs are everywhere. Oh well, we can't have everything perfect in this world. I get excited thinking about the new heaven and new earth that Jesus will bring at the end. What will that be like? Spring without the skeeters, summer without the heat, winter without the cold? I simply don't know what that new earth will be like. Everything I try to imagine seems based upon what I know on this earth. Perhaps there will be twenty distinct seasons in a year, but will we even count years as we know them now? Will plants grow and be tended, or will the plants be tended by lions? Pondering these things makes for a fun exercise, but God has reserved His surprise for us. In the time before that great day of Jesus' return, we do have Good News to share. There is salvation from sin in this world and it comes through Jesus, our Lord. No one must wait to be saved, it can happen now, wherever the person is, and in whatever situation the person may find him or her self. Praise God for His infinite grace and mercy. The ax of judgement once rested on all of us, but now we are forgiven and saved in the blood of Christ.

Take the Good News with you on this fine day,

Bucky
