Seventh Sunday of Easter / Confirmation

What Difference Does It Make?
He lives to give me the eager expectation of glory

​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It’s been a long time since Jesus ascended into heaven. In this world I languish. Sometimes I suffer. Has Jesus forgotten about me? When will he return?
 

Remember, Jesus lives, and it makes a difference. 
 

I know how life turns out. I don't know what the future holds, but I know the One who holds the future. And being certain about the future helps with life's present uncertainties. 
 

Meanwhile, I wait for Jesus' return on judgment day. I'll wait as long as God wants me to wait because God always keeps his promises. And until Jesus returns, for as long as he allows me more time in this world, I know that God will work everything out for my good.
