God's Vision for the Church (1)
What is God’s vision for the church?
As we ask that question we are faced with many imponderables. One thing we do know, of course. The church is in safe hands: very safe hands. But beyond that we know little. We don’t even know how much time is left to us. We’re living in the Last Days, but then we’ve been living in them since Christ came 2000 years ago, and they will last till He comes again. No one knows when that will be. The church may be still in her infancy and may last, on earth, for a million years. We simply do not know; and even if we did we have not the remotest idea what such a future might hold. We can see only a few steps ahead of ourselves; and even then only dimly.
