“Present Joy in Future Glory”
Back in 1985 a movie called “Back to the Future” was released. It was an instant hit and went on to become a massive success over the following decades. The movie is about a young man who travels back in time, armed with truth about the future in order to impact the outcome of an event before it happened. One of the things that made the movie funny was how the main character interacted with people in the past based on what he knew about them in the future. In other words, his future knowledge about them influenced his perception of them as he interacted with them in real time.
That, in essence, is what Paul does in Romans 5:1-11. He knows there are things about our future state that, if we believe them to be true, will radically shape how we live and handle our present circumstances. Chief among those future realities is the glory that awaits us – a glory that will transform our bodies in the future and that should transform our lives now. Join us this Sunday as Paul helps us learn to cultivate present joy for future glory.
