Church at Barking Riverside

We right now, as we're lighting candles, as we're praying, as we're getting ready to celebrate, we remember that Jesus already came. But we also remember that he is coming again. And now we only see in part what then we will see fully. And so we are a people of hope. A people who have a sure and certain hope that Jesus will return. That there will be new heaven and new earth. That the mess, the suffering, the pain we experience now is temporary. And it's like a blink, like a click of the fingers compared to the eternity we will spend face-to-face loving and being loved by the King of Kings.
