Everything comes to an end. Life. Seasons. Baseball and Basketball games. Good meals. Dessert. Sex. Games. Journeys. Vacations. Quarantine (we hope!). And my time to be your pastor. Everything. Everything except Jesus. He never ends. You cannot exhaust his wisdom. You cannot understand all he knows. You can never get to the end of his love. You cannot plumb the depths of his compassion. You cannot fathom his thoughts. You cannot praise enough the majesty of his Person. You will never know him better than he wants to know you. So, for this last Sunday -- let’s focus on Jesus. Let’s pay attention to Him. Let’s thank HIM for this amazing walk together and celebrate this privilege - that even with all that is true about Jesus, still his intention is to make us like himself. Exactly. God has “...predestined (us) to be conformed to the image of His Son” (Ephesians 1). God predetermined that everyone would be made into a “little Christ.” That’s what the word Christian means. Pretty fabulous.
So, I want you to know, I’ve learned so much about Jesus through all of you. So much. I give thanks for every moment we have shared, the joyful and the tearful ones. God used it all for such great good. And how cool to hand the baton to a great pastor in Brett Stuvland. We will do this on Sunday. Come, join worship. 9 am.
