1 Thessalonians: The People of the Future
In this age of perpetual conflict and despair the future often looks dark. For millennia, humankind has been caught in the struggle between good and evil. As followers of Jesus, we press through the difficulties because there is a promise for the future.
God has a plan to rebuild creation and put the world to rights. The Kingdom of God will soon become fully realized, and we must live as an advanced sign of the world to come. Followers of Jesus must be the archetypes of a new humanity.
