Eagerly waiting patiently

My brain hurts. Lifeway Adult Leaders Guide (pg. 127) says, “we must embrace hope”. Reading between the lines, we must enthusiastically endure waiting for the reality of what’s undoubted and absolutely certain. What’s certain but yet to be is the transformation of our mortal bodies into the likeness of Christ’s glorious body (Philippians 3:21).
I’ll discuss our certain hope based on Romans 8:24-25 using the pictured PPT slide that uses a modified Stamp cartoon. Remember, we are like an incomplete painting that will be finished one day. Or, we are like a incomplete puzzle that will be completed when our bodies are transformed into the likeness of Christ’s body.
