Missionary Moment
by Tim Batchelor
“For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what is promised.” Hebrews 10:35
One of the consistent themes in the New Testament is the theme of waiting and hoping. Many of the blessings we receive at salvation and which we enjoy in our Christian life are only shadows of what is to come. For instance, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a promise of the completion of the work of salvation which occurs in eternity. The peace Jesus promises is only a reflection of the eternal peace His people will one day enjoy in its completion. The Lord answers prayer and gives us health, resolves a conflict, supplies a need or gives us strength but these answers are only a temporary relief. It is only when He takes us home that all these problems and challenges will be resolved in a final way. Until then a lot of endurance is needed.
