Read The End

January 21-22

Read The End

“Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.” Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. Isaiah 12:2-3

Do you ever flip to the back of a book to find out the ending? I am guilty of this all the time. When I am reading a book, I often read the last chapter first because I like to see how the story unfolds knowing the ending. I enjoy seeing the clues leading up to the ending as I am reading along. Reading the end of a story can bring peace to the reading journey, even though the exact unfolding of the events is unknown.

When we come to Christ, the end of our story is written and secure. There is no changing it! Regardless of the circumstances of this moment and any discouragement weighing you down, amidst the darkness, there is a singular ray of shining hope: the promise that Christ WILL return and set things right. He will “reign until he humbles all his enemies beneath his feet. And the last enemy to be destroyed is death” (1 Corinthians 15:25–26). He wins even over death—our darkest, the enemy has no hold on us. Think of it! All earthly woes, financial pressures, emotional trauma, physical disabilities, domestic conflicts, international wars, satanic oppression—all that will end. We’ll have the joy of living forever in adoration of our God, and evil will be abolished once and for all. Jesus is the hope of humanity and the best news we must share!
