After a long time away from the blogosphere. I bring you the cov vineyard blog [reloaded]! This Sunday we are starting a series on "Signs of the Kingdom", exploring the Gospel of John. We will start with the first sign that John describes; Jesus turning water into wine.In preparation, I came across this quote:
This is what eternal life means. This is what it means to be saved. It means to go about every day in the present evil Age living the life of heaven. It means that every local fellowship of God's people who have shared this life should live together and worship and serve together as those who enjoy a foretaste of heaven here on earth. This is what the fellowship of a Christian Church ought to be. May God help us to live the life of The Age to Come in the midst of an evil Age. God has already brought us into fellowship with Himself. This is the promise, the down-payment, the earnest, the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, the life of The Age to Come. This is the Gospel of the Kingdom. This is the life of The Age to Come.
-George Eldon Ladd, The Gospel of the Kingdom
Amen.
