Jesus has appeared. And we are the richer for it. We can look back on what God has done in Jesus to save us. Yet we, too, must wait, hope, and trust. For although we have been saved by Jesus, we are yet being saved day-by-day through the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. And yet we look forward to the time when we will be saved on the Great Last Day. Then all of God's promises will be fully fulfilled. Then we will be fully consoled. Then our hearts will have no rival god to woo us from the True God and his salvation.
Powered by the Holy Spirit, we wait. Secured in Jesus we hope. Emboldened by God's promises we trust. That's the trinity of faith we must all embrace until we see it ourselves, and we see Him face to face.
