On the eve of the Sunday of the 500th commemoration of the Reformation, I’m thinking about what is next for the church. There is much concern that “the church” is dying. To that I say, it is Christ’s church, after all, and Christ isn’t dying - he’s been resurrected, which will never end.
The question remains, however, will the church look different 500 years from now? Certainly - after all, it looks different now than it did 50 years ago. But will the church die? I don’t think so - not as long as there is a remnant, Christ’s new covenant remains.
What an amazing time to be the church - just as it has been for the last 2,000 years. Thank you for reforming us always, God, and for never giving up on your relationship with your people!
