Listen To The Word

Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds. Heb 1:1-2 NRSV

I am always amazed by the number of people who rely on astrology or fortunetellers for a positive look at their personal futures. Sometimes, they are surprised and according to these false prophets their futures are not so bright. But, the Christian does not depend on reading the stars or listening to people who speak to the dead as these are forbidden by God. The Christian trusts in the word of God. He or she reads the word as found in the Holy Scriptures. The Christian listens to the Word who is Jesus the Christ.

In these latter days, God has spoken to us through His Son, Jesus the Christ. We know that in him and only in him do we have a future of hope. We know that our future includes eternal life in the presence of God Almighty. What better place could we hope to be?

Advent begins this Sunday, join us or your local congregation throughout the coming days as we hear the word of the Lord and prepare with hope for the coming of our Lord, Jesus the Christ. Our futures depend on him. Our futures depend on the Word. Listen to him!
