Death and final judgment aren’t some of the most popular topics on first dates, in church, or really anywhere in our world. And yet, Paul argues that in order to really live fully and rightly, we can only do so with our eyes focused on that final day when Jesus returns to judge the living and the dead. On that day, a new kingdom will be established where all things are made new and right. For the believer, this is incredible news. Our King is coming! Our rescue is certain! So let’s encourage each other to live in light of these realities.
