Synopsis "The Journey Home"
We will one day trade in our tent for a building not made by hands. Think about the difference between a tent and a building. Tents are temporary and flimsy, easily torn, and meant to be replaced. A building is strong, built on a foundation, and not easily moved. Someday, we will give up our tent and replace it with a building made by God himself. That one fact tells us something important about death. It is from God. It is not made with hands, it is eternal, and it is heavenly, not earthly. But, thank God, it's not the last word. If you have a loved one who died in Christ, you will see them again. I want you to know that God is not finished. Death will not have the last word, for Jesus has conquered the grave. Because he rose we, too, shall rise. From faith, we take courage to live for Christ with reckless abandon, because death is not the end of our story. So, shine your light and let the whole world see we have a risen King.
