Unfinished Stories

  
"Living in unfinished stories draws us into God's final act, the return of Jesus.  While we wait for his return, it is easy to predict the pattern of the last days.  The book of Revelation pictures a suffering church, dying as creation itself is unraveling.  Through suffering God will finally make his church beautiful and reveal his glory.  In the desert you see his glory.  In the last days the bride will be made beautiful, pure, waiting for her lover.  Come quickly, Lord Jesus."
