In Light of Eternity

Speaker: Rev. Mark Mueller


Scripture Focus: Acts 9:1–22, Revelation 5:
8–14, & John 21:1–19


Service Summary: In light of Christ’s eternal
victory, we should expect change in our daily living. For
example, although they were called to be fishers of men, in
today’s Gospel, the disciples learned that they needed to listen
to their Lord even when fishing for fish. Change for Peter would
mean moving from regretting his past (where he denied his Lord)
to feeding Christ’s flock. And for Saul (Paul), Christ’s eternal,
living presence would mean changing from catching Christians to
proclaiming Christ before Gentiles and kings. The heavenly host
in the Reading from Revelation sing their eternal songs of praise
to the Lamb on the throne. How might our risen Lord’s eternal
victory over sin and evil change us so that we echo their praises
already here in time?
