There are two types of people in this world.

Are you a sinner or a saint? It’s easy to think it’s a multiple choice question. We assume we can only be one or the other. As our Christian Year draws to a close, we remember the fact that God sees our sin even more than we are able to. And yet, in Christ, we have been given the status of saint. Christ has turned an either/or into a both/and. This week we consider the blessed eternity that God has in store for us. As everything around us fails and fades, it is easy to lose sight of the eternal reward God has in store for us. On this last Sunday of the Church Year, God’s Word lifts our eyes and hearts to confidently and joyfully await Christ’s return.
