During my daily commute the last 2 days I listened to the two most recent sermons by Francis Chan from Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California. I find Chan’s ability to communicate both refreshing and challenging at the same time. The two part sermon that I recently downloaded from Itunes was phenomenal.
“Do you live everyday with the idea of eternity in the forefront of your mind?” Francis quizzically asked. Continuing, “Jesus did not say He might come back some day, He said He will come back like a thief in the night . . . Think back on 2009. I am sure there are plenty of times when you are grateful that Jesus did not come back.”
Ouch.
Well there was this one time when . . . or this other time when we . . . My mind starts to wander to all the things I was doing and instantly I feel guilty of all the things I should have been doing. Listening to Chan that last few mornings and evenings has reminded me that I spend very little time thinking about the eternal and most of my time thinking about my own little world.
With all the tragedy that has happened in Haiti and the injustice that occurs daily across the globe I found Pastor Chan’s message extremely humbling and a hard reminder that I need to step outside my little box and live with an eternal perspective. God is going to come back someday and I need to live accordingly.
