Bible Study: Looking Forward to a New Heaven & a New Earth | Mark 13:24-37 | The Coming of the Son of Man

So, the end of the Church Year is good for us. It gives us glasses to correct our near-sightedness and enable us to look ahead, to look forward to the end and Jesus coming again. And to triage our lives rightly, and know what really matters, and what does not. And to know that when that day comes, it will be a day of joy. The day we have been looking forward to. 

For the same Jesus who comes to us now, here, hidden in water, words, and bread and wine, will be the Jesus who comes then, in glory. And all the family of God will be home. Our brothers and sisters in Christ from the beginning of time to the end of time, and from every people, tribe, nation, and language. That day will be all the holidays - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Easter, birthdays - all rolled into one big celebration. A joy unlike any other.
