A Mouthful Of Maranatha
This is the word that earliest Christians would repeat to one another – a cry that Jesus would come quickly. That history would be resolved. That all would be well. It’s a good prayer!

Christianity is a realistic religion. It doesn’t avoid the truth that life can involve pain. Physical pain, relational pain, mental pain. But all this pain won’t get the last word. The tears may last a while, but there’s joy coming.
The world has too many evil regimes. Too many people are oppressed. Too many suffer at the hands of the powerful. How will this be brought to an end by a rider on a white horse?
What has happened to all those who have died waiting for Jesus to return? What will eternal life be like? How does this hope help us live well now? On Sunday, we explored the possible answers behind these questions.
On Sunday, as we explored; how to live without fear in the middle of global upheavals, why wars and famines don’t necessarily mean Jesus is just about to come back, and why this is good news!
Jesus has promised that he will return, that history will not finish with a collapse into catastrophe, but in a song of justice and joy. How does this help us live?
