Greg Preaches this Morning.

Maybe this all seems a little “pie in the sky” for some of you – this notion that in faith we might see and greet the promises of God without receiving them ourselves. But I think it was put best by one of our nation’s secular saints, one who was also one of our nation’s great men of Christian faith. Speaking of the reality that he might not be alive to receive that which he was promised and which he had seen in the distance, he echoed Moses as he proclaimed

I've been to the mountaintop. . . . I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land. And I'm happy, tonight.… Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

And I say to you today that the Promised Land has been revealed to us, and we know it is true. No, we’re not there yet – but the Lord is coming in his own time to bring the faithful the wonders he has promised us.
