Living the moment
On one hand Jesus directs us to not get ahead of ourselves in living life. (Matt6:34) On the other we are encouraged to lift up our heads for our redemption draws near. (Luke21:28) Even Paul the Apostle wrote how he presses towards the mark of the high calling in Christ. (Phil3:13-15) So which is it? Do we just live moment to moment, or do we keep our focus on the beyond today in anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ? The answer of course is that God’s people are directed to live each moment of life as though Jesus is about to return.
