It does not matter who you are or where you live. The evidential reality of a world in chaos is hard to miss. Of course, you may not know about it if you dwell in a cave with no wifi. However, we are no longer living in the days when a violent skirmish happens here and there between nations somewhere over there. Today we live in ever-increasing tension between families and neighbors. Much of this anger is fueled by how to legislate morality in our communities and around the globe. Instead of loving our neighbor, as the Imago Dei, as we have been commanded (Matthew 22: 35-40), we have devolved into a mob of frightened children trying to get our way. Why? Humanity is scared. Yet, we as Christians should know to look up in great anticipation of the fulfillment of the coming Kingdom of God. The reality of Jesus coming should calm our souls and energize our spirits for the work of God's Kingdom of loving God and loving neighbor. Jesus' coming will be the redemption of all creation (See Romans 8:18–25). As you and I see the growing perplexity of nations, rulers, kings, and neighbors, we, as the redeemed of God, know about and must look up for the blessed and soon-coming hope on the horizon. Look up, brothers and sisters, Jesus, your King is coming, and His reward is with Him (Revelation 22:12; Isaiah 40:10).
