The Coming Glory

Christians are essentially future oriented. Christ is their hope of glory, and the glory in which we now live points us to what will come to us when our Lord returns. While we cannot yet imagine what this will be like, some outline of it is given to us in the final chapters of the Book of Revelation. The Church is described as 'having the glory of God'. But then, the glory she has as Bride is the glory of God and the light of the Lamb. And remarkably, the glory of the nations comes into this great City. What we are shown is the sure and certain finale of what we have now, and this hope is the vision we need in order to live truly in the present.
