The Biblical Benefit Of Hindsightنمونه

Increasingly I find watching the TV news distressing. Our world seems to deliver new atrocities daily, whether it be human suffering, religious persecution, or damage to our planet. What a comfort it is to know that we are promised that all will be made new again. Perhaps we’re not quite sure in what form, but that’s largely irrelevant – what’s important is that ours and the world’s suffering, pain and sadness will be no more once Jesus returns. Now that will be a news bulletin worth watching! (Note: the word ‘sea’ in the Old Testament was often used in reference to evil, not the big, blue, wobbly thing that fish swim in…;))

Do you ever despair of the pain and suffering around you? And can you also rest in the promise of a new earth? 

Pray: Dear Lord Jesus, as we travel through this life with all its pain and suffering, help us to focus on your promise of a new heaven and a new earth, and your promise to overcome evil and bring judgement upon those who perpetrate it. Amen.
