The word FUTURE has been staring at me from everywhere during this year. That’s the reason why you find so many posts about the FUTURE on this blog.

But what about the FUTURE?

Only the Lord Jesus Christ is the answer to that question. He says so himself in Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

What a verse. I can only marvel. The Lord is the beginning, the end, he is, he was, he is the ALMIGHTY, he is coming…..!

He came as a Saviour. We are reading about that in Luke 2:11 “Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you, he is Christ, the Lord.”

But he is coming again for a second time as judge. Are you looking forward to His Second Coming? I do, because he is my Saviour and not my judge.

Soon we will be reading something like this in the newspapers, “We don’t know what the FUTURE has in store for us!” Or something like this,” The FUTURE is dark before us.”

I say, “No, that is not true. The FUTURE is certainly not dark before me. I have a living Saviour and I am praising him.”

Pastor W. Busch was a youth pastor in Essen (Germany) and he celebrated the New Year’s eve with hundreds of young men. (Weigle Haus) Many of the young people played the trumpet and at midnight they went into the open air and played a hymn to the praise of God. (Grosser Gott, wir loben Dich! Herr, wir preisen Deine Staerke!) Soon the fire crackers stopped and it became very quiet and the people were listening.

How good it is to start the New Year with the PRAISE OF GOD. May it continue all year long!
