From the #MeyerMinute for Feb. 26: We’re living

From the #MeyerMinute for Feb. 26:

We’re living in a very here-and-now culture. “What time is it?” you ask, and your friend says, “It’s about 9:26.” About? That’s not about, it’s focused on the present almost to the second. Since you’re in the world, you have to navigate this here-and-now culture, but since you’re a person of faith, you are also not of this world and therefore have a different internal clock. 1 Peter 1:13 is very interesting. The ESV translates, “Set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you and the revelation of Jesus Christ.” Most English translations do the same future tense, “the grace that will be brought to you.” But that’s not precisely what the original Greek says: “Set your hope on the grace that is being brought to you by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” Someday Judgment Day will come, we confess that, assuming it’s the sweet by and by, but the verse literally says already now you and I are receiving the gift of our inheritance in heaven that will fully be ours when Jesus comes. Picturing the pickup truck or step ladder, we’ve already got a foot higher in heaven. Think how that changes your outlook for today’s challenges.

Do I watch Jesus suffer the same way I watch sport

Do I watch Jesus suffer the same way I watch sports or an engaging show – as a spectator? Paul saw no separation between himself and Jesus: “I have been crucified with Christ” (Gal. 2:20). This Lent I ask myself, How can I more identify my very being with Christ? Read more of today's #MeyerMinute from President Emeritus Dr. Dale A. Meyer on Facebook @concordiasem
