Jesus is coming again . . . . And that reality powers the Christian life to be able to live with hope and confidence.And so, when we face injustice, when we face trials and tribulations and difficulties in this world, when we are ravaged by disease or illness, when we are opposed by enemies, when we are persecuted by enemies of the faith, we can have peace and hope and joy and confidence because Jesus is coming again. "Joy to the world, the Lord is come: let Earth receive her king." And when he comes, what will he do? He'll make his blessings [known] far as the curse is found. We have that confidence. We can work with energy in the Christian life, to love mercy, and to do justly, and walk humbly with our God, to love our neighbors as ourselves, not thinking that the results that we get now are going to be the final report card on our life. Jesus is coming again, and he will make all things new. And that reality powers the Christian life to be able to live with hope and confidence, no matter the circumstances that we're dealing with.
Chris Larson, President and CEOHave you ever felt disappointed? We’ve all felt the sadness of promises broken and dreams shattered. But here’s the good news: Jesus keeps His promises, and He doesn’t disappoint. He is with us every day. In this book by my friend Dr. Ferguson, you will learn to hope in the God who never disappoints or breaks His promises. This book reminds us that He is a God worthy of our love, and His people will go on loving Him forever.
Johnny Gibson, Associate Professor of Old TestamentSinclair Ferguson has written this devotional book to help our children to think about Jesus and love him more. Its brilliance lies in the fact that it is so simple yet so creative. I can think of three great uses for it: (1) a gift for children to read on their own; (2) a guide for parents leading family devotions; and (3) a garden of homegrown illustrations for pastors to “pick and pinch” for their own children’s addresses! Highly recommended!
