Eschatology For The Common Life

l'Abri Saturday morning lecture March 2nd 2024
Speaker: Arthur Metz

What we expect from the future guides our present decisions, and since Jesus ascended to the heavens, promising to return and bring His Kingdom, Christians have anticipated, imagined, and lived this future.
However, the Christian faith is not the sole producer of future expectations. All kinds of utopias and desperate visions for the future also play a role in today’s society and can sometimes influence the Christian perspective itself.
What does the way we live the present reveal about our future hopes?
How can our current relationship with God, His creation, and others help us understand where our hopes lie?
And how can Christian hope for the future contribute to living a fulfilling and fruitful life in a troubled world?
