Garden Club Reflections- Year of the LORD

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Lu 4:18) In this last facet of Jesus’ prophesied ministry goals, Jesus hints that although He was initially rejected, one day the timing would be perfect for welcoming Him openly. Jesus came unto His own, but His own did not receive Him. BUT those who did would transform into children of God.

               Although Jesus is embraced everyday by His followers from around the globe and across the centuries, Jesus will one day set up an earthly kingdom where welcoming Him will not be optional. Grace and truth will balance His global reign for one thousand years. And that future dominion can begin right now in our hearts and as we share His hope of eternal life.
