The difference in making a difference

Published: Nov. 19, 2017, 10 a.m.

The Christian life is lived "in between." The incredible things that God declares about us and promises to us are often hidden in a life that looks no different from anyone else's - maybe even worse. And yet, as we live in the space between appearance and reality, we find hope in the fact that this space was once occupied by Jesus too. When he appears, so will the reality of all we are - and all we have - in him! This week we look specifically at our in between investment. Just like everyone around us, we spend our time on earth using everything that God has given us for a specific purpose, hoping to receive a generous return. At times it might seem as though the way we invest our time, energy, and resources doesn’t lead to any tangible returns. However, when Christ appears, he will reveal the truth about those returns and give us a generous, undeserved reward.
