The Epilogue

We recognize some stories immediately by their opening lines. Fairy tales, for examples, start with, "Once upon a time" and we recognize "In the beginning..." as the opening line of the Bible. But even at the end of a good book, we often look for the epilogue to tie up any loose ends. Revelation 22:10-20 is the Bible's epilogue. Here we find the assurance that we can enter 2009 with confidence, whether the year brings us "the best of times" or "the worst of times." Jesus is coming soon! Join us on New Year's Eve at 7:30 to end the year in worship and thanksgiving.
