Already and Not Yet
Christians live in a unique moment in historyMark 10:29-31; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:1-11Main PointChristians live in a unique moment in history — between the first coming and the second. The kingdom has already come in Christ, and it has not yet fully arrived. Learning to live in this tension is one of the defining challenges of Christian discipleship.
