The unspeakable can never fully be spoken by human language. But when God's incarnated, living Word spreads his light on the pages of the Bible, the written words come alive and we discover the footprints of the Word everywhere in God's history with his people!

I was thinking of you and your husband the other day.
"When his days of ministry were completed, he went home."
Luk 1:23
"...the resurrection is not merely a happy ending. It is a confirmation that the future belongs to just the kind of love Jesus enacted on the cross."

Today's message is about the one and only King, the one who reigns in selfgiving love, humility and justice...
In him all people will be united and set free. And of his kingdom there will be no end.
Come soon, Lord Jesus!
The eternal rest is not inactivity but absence of evil. Hence no more influence from it and no battle against it. Only rejoicing in God's presence, beauty and creativity... Amd joining in what he will be doing...

Paul in Phil 1:6:
"I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
It is a *very* good thing that his work actually has begun. Now we just need some patience and trust...
