About this sermon
If you pay attention, you will notice that this world operates every day according to a false hope. There’s a narrative. There’s a striving. There’s a goal put forth in moralistic terms. You never stop hearing about it. You hear about it in song, you hear about it through politics, you see it depicted in the movies, you hear about it when people express their goals and ambitions and wishes. It is a hope expressed in modern education. That false hope is the idea that one day the world is going to get its act together. Not getting its act together as the Bible would define it, but in the terms that this world would consider paradise. A world of complete peace. A world with complete harmony. A world without all the things that Jesus told us will be in the world until He returns. *No wars *No natural disasters *No diseases *No need for false Christs, or persecutions, or family betrayals, because we could all agree that there is no God. Or, we could all agree that if there is a God He can’t really be known. Or we could all agree that the differences in our beliefs about God really amount to nothing. That is this world’s version of religious utopia. Well, what we have here is the Lord of all creation telling us about the future of the planet. And what he makes clear is that this world is not evolving. It is NEVER going to get its act together. It isn’t going to get better. In fact, its going to get worse. And before He returns it will reach a point where it has NEVER been worse. Never in the history of the world.
