As believers, we live in the tension of the hope that is coming and the reality of the present. We are NOT HOME YET. This tension is summed up in John 17, the longest recorded prayer of Jesus. In His prayer, Jesus has one major concern: it is that the Father should be glorified through the accomplishment of His eternal plan. What does this say to us as we live in the tension of the here and the NOT HOME YET? In the midst of the chaos of this world, Jesus’ one concern (i.e. His Mission) must always be our first priority. What a privilege it is to be included in His mission.
