The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part ThreeSample

Daily Reflection: Have you ever wondered why almost every culture or people group that has ever existed always seems to end up having one or multiple deities, regardless of their connection to technology or global civilization? This is because God has set eternity in the heart of man. From birth, something inside us calls back to what is eternal. All creation shares in this same desire – one day, we will see the full redemption of all creation by the hand of God. Jesus’ ministry was an answer to this truth. He is the incarnate God, comes to satisfy the thirst of eternity in people’s hearts. We know that redemption comes spiritually through salvation, but we won’t see the fullness of the physical redemption until the Lord returns.

Daily Demonstration: As children of God, the more like our Father we become, the more we can be ambassadors of reconciliation and redemption to the world around us. We do this as we share the gospel, or as we bring peace or forgiveness into a tumultuous situation. What is one way you can bring reconciliation or redemption into your world today?
