Timeless KingdomНамуна

One of the remarkable aspects of the story of redemption is that God reveals to us how it will all end. We don’t have to wonder how the story ends. Now, he hasn’t given us all the details, but there is still a great deal we do know. The book of Revelation describes a new heaven and a new earth. It’s a time when New Jerusalem will descend from heaven, and God will live with His people forever. It’s going to be glorious—everything our hearts have ever longed for!

As Jesus speaks here, he’s talking about that kingdom to come. He’s giving His followers a glimpse of the timeless kingdom we’re longing for. Jesus spoke about “the renewal of all things.” In other words, everything that is good, true, and beautiful about this life will be remade and made holy for the next. The things that reflect God’s good heart will echo into eternity. That means that anything you do for the kingdom now matters for the life to come.

Love your neighbor. Create something that inspires others. Invent something that helps someone in need. Try to make this world a bit more like heaven, and your work will be timeless.
