October 13, 2024: A Picture is Just the Beginning - Hannah Thom

No one knows the future. We pretend as though we do: we make plans, schedule things in the distant future and spend time before we are ever granted it. This may be because the greatest terror for humans is not having a future. Perhaps this is why Jesus told his followers not to worry about the times and dates that God has set in place for us. This has the power to lead us to the place of nihilism, if we stop to consider we really don’t know. Does it even matter?

Of course, it matters. While Jesus was short on specifics, there is a picture of restoration that we are invited to consider. That though the temple was torn down, it will be rebuilt in three days. Even when we cannot go back, even when everything is ending … just wait that means something new is happening. Something that will outlive us. A future that is pulling us forward.
