God the creator and Christ the redeemer take evil and injustice seriously, and soon will both judge humanity and renew the cosmos. We hope and long for the wiping away of everyone’s tears and for the healing of the nations. We anticipate the day when those nations will worship God and the Lamb. We bear witness in word and deed to that certain future. But we know that only God can bring that final, future reality to earth, so we constantly pray, “Come, Lord Jesus.”
