The last word will be resurrection and new creation. Satan just pretends he is the ruler of this world. It belongs to the crucified and risen Servant who will reign forever and ever. Because of this, I know where history is going. The final word is not injustice, oppression or a dead planet. The Almighty One who raised my Lord Jesus will have the last word. That is what keeps me going. I have, by God’s grace, allowed Jesus’ resurrection to shape the way I live. It certainly has shaped the way I hope … disciples of the Resurrected One labor now, even in the worst of times, knowing that finally their efforts will not be in vain.
