The Christian hope for the future of the planet and humanity is tethered to the Biblical teaching of Jesus’ return. Human effort and ingenuity are not enough to save us. Despite all the best advances in science, medicine, technology and political structures, we won’t be able to achieve paradise on earth. But we hope and believe that Jesus will return and by the strength of God he will set things right in our world. And this hope drives us to begin doing his work today, to begin with his help welcoming his Kingdom of justice, righteousness and peace.
