Christianity begins with what Jehovah has done in history through Jesus Christ, but it never ends with the mere acknowledgment of those historical events. Jesus was born, grew to manhood, was baptized, resisted Satan, was transfigured before chosen eyewitnesses, endured profound suffering, died sacrificially, was raised from the dead, ascended to heaven, and was glorified at the right hand of His Father. He taught with divine authority, performed works that authenticated His commission, lived in complete dependence upon Jehovah through prayer, and promised that He would return. These are not disconnected episodes preserved merely because they are interesting details from the life of an extraordinary religious teacher. Together they reveal the identity, mission, authority, obedience, sacrifice, victory, and future kingship of Jesus Christ. They also establish the foundation upon which Christian discipleship must be built.
The title Making All Things New reaches toward the declaration of Revelation 21:5, where the One seated upon the throne announces the renewal that Jehovah will bring to completion. That future renewal is far greater than personal self-improvement. It embraces the defeat of rebellion, the abolition of death, the removal of mourning and pain, and the establishment of a righteous order in which Jehovah's purpose for obedient humanity is fully realized. Yet Scripture also speaks of renewal already taking place in those who respond faithfully to the gospel. Christians are commanded to put away the old personality, renew their minds, put on the new personality, walk in newness of life, reject the works belonging to their former course, and become increasingly governed by accurate knowledge of Jehovah's will. The future making of all things new therefore gives direction and meaning to the present work of Christian transformation.
That transformation does not mean that imperfect humans become sinless during the present life. Nor does it mean that personality disappears and the believer becomes an indistinguishable copy of every other Christian. Biblical renewal is moral, intellectual, spiritual, and practical. The dishonest person learns truthfulness. The resentful person learns forgiveness. The sexually immoral person learns moral cleanness. The selfish person learns generosity. The proud person learns humility. The person governed by uncontrolled anger learns self-control. The believer who once allowed human opinion, personal desire, cultural assumptions, or religious tradition to determine truth learns instead to bring thought and conduct under the authority of Jehovah's Spirit-inspired Word. Christian renewal is therefore recognizable. It reaches speech, work, family relationships, sexuality, money, entertainment, conscience, worship, evangelism, forgiveness, and the private thoughts from which visible conduct eventually grows.
This book approaches that transformation by keeping Jesus Christ at the center. It does not begin with techniques for becoming a better person and then add Jesus as a religious example. It begins with the historical Christ revealed in Scripture. What happened to Him matters before considering what His disciples should do. His miraculous birth must first be understood as an actual event. His baptism must first be understood within His obedient submission to His Father. His temptation must first be read as a real confrontation with Satan. His transfiguration must first be understood as an authenticated manifestation of His glory. Gethsemane must first be allowed to disclose the genuine weight of the suffering before Him. His death must first be understood as the sacrifice through which redemption is made possible. His resurrection must first be recognized as Jehovah's historical victory over death through His Son. Only after establishing what the inspired writers actually communicate can the believer properly ask what these truths require of those who follow Christ.
From the Historical Jesus to the Life of the Disciple
One danger in Christian devotional writing is moving so quickly to personal application that the biblical event itself becomes little more than a symbol for the reader's private experience. This book takes a different course. Jesus' birth is not an allegory of the believer's new birth. His transfiguration is not merely a picture of becoming a more spiritual person. His death does not simply represent the surrender of undesirable habits. His resurrection is not a metaphor for recovering from disappointment. His ascension is not symbolic language for His disciples gaining a higher appreciation of Him. These things happened in history. Their meaning arises from what Jehovah actually accomplished through His Son.
Once that historical and grammatical meaning is established, however, Scripture itself supplies principles that reach directly into Christian life. The believer who understands Jesus' birth is led to consider the new birth that Jesus required of Nicodemus. The disciple who observes Jesus' quiet years in Nazareth learns that years without public prominence are not spiritually wasted when they are filled with obedience, responsible work, increasing wisdom, and faithfulness before God. Jesus' baptism directs attention toward willing submission to Jehovah and the disciple-making commission that includes teaching, repentance, faith, immersion, and continuing obedience. His resistance to Satan teaches Christians the necessity of knowing Scripture before temptation arrives and of refusing to allow appetite, ambition, fear, or distorted reasoning to override Jehovah's revealed will.
The same pattern continues throughout the book. The transfiguration reveals the glory and authority of Christ and places Jehovah's own command to listen to His Son at the center of Christian transformation. Putting on the new person begins with a mind willing to be corrected by truth. Gethsemane reveals the depth of Jesus' submission when obedience involved severe anguish, helping Christians understand that faithfulness to Jehovah does not guarantee an existence free from suffering. Human imperfection, Satan, demonic opposition, persecution, sickness, loss, injustice, and life in a wicked world bring real pain. Jesus never taught His followers to interpret every difficulty as evidence that Jehovah had abandoned them. His own obedient course demonstrates that suffering and faithfulness can exist together.
The cross then brings discipleship into its sharpest focus. Jesus' death accomplished what no Christian act of self-denial could accomplish. His sacrifice provides the basis for forgiveness and reconciliation with God. The disciple does not imitate the atoning function of Christ's death. Yet Jesus Himself required His followers to take up their cross and follow Him, making self-denial and obedience essential features of discipleship. The Christian learns that following Christ means replacing self-rule with willing submission to His commands. That submission becomes especially meaningful when obedience carries a cost. Faithfulness may mean rejecting dishonest financial gain, breaking with immoral conduct, forgiving when resentment feels emotionally satisfying, proclaiming biblical truth when silence would be socially easier, or refusing religious practices that conflict with Scripture. The cross exposes the emptiness of a Christianity that wants Christ's benefits without Christ's authority.
The resurrection then establishes the great positive reality of the Christian's new life. Jesus did not remain in death. Jehovah raised Him. Christian faith therefore rests upon the victory of a living Messiah rather than upon admiration for a dead teacher. The resurrection supplies the foundation of Christian hope and gives meaning to present obedience. The grave does not possess the final word over those whom Jehovah remembers. Death is not the release of an inherently immortal human soul into its natural state. Death is an enemy, and resurrection is Jehovah's answer to that enemy. Eternal life is His gift through Jesus Christ. Because Christ lives, the Christian can walk in newness of life now while looking forward confidently to the resurrection Jehovah has promised.
Renewal Through Accurate Knowledge
The renewal described throughout these chapters is inseparable from truth. Christianity cannot produce the kind of transformation Scripture requires when biblical truth is replaced by intuition, emotionalism, private revelation, mystical impressions, or whatever happens to feel spiritually meaningful at a particular moment. Jesus resisted Satan with Scripture. He taught His disciples truth. He corrected false reasoning. He exposed hypocrisy. He confronted traditions that invalidated God's Word. He taught that worship must conform to divine truth, and He prayed that His disciples would be sanctified in the truth.
For Christians living after the apostolic age, the authoritative means by which that truth reaches us is the Spirit-inspired Word. The Holy Spirit guided the biblical writers so that the Scriptures faithfully communicate what Jehovah intended His servants to know. Christians today therefore seek the Spirit's guidance by submitting themselves to the Word the Spirit inspired, not by expecting new revelations alongside Scripture. The Bible teaches, reproves, corrects, trains, warns, comforts, and equips. Through accurate reading, sound interpretation, thoughtful meditation, prayer, Christian instruction, and repeated application, biblical truth gradually forms the mind.
This is why knowledge cannot be treated as the enemy of spiritual maturity. Scripture repeatedly connects renewal with knowledge. Colossians 3:10 speaks of the new person being renewed through accurate knowledge. Romans 12:2 connects transformation with the renewing of the mind. Faith itself comes from hearing the message concerning Christ. The Christian must know what Jehovah has revealed before he can deliberately conform his life to it.
Knowledge alone, however, is not maturity. A person can accumulate information about Scripture while remaining arrogant, dishonest, sexually immoral, unforgiving, greedy, or spiritually inactive. The purpose of accurate knowledge is obedience. Biblical truth reaches its intended practical result when it changes judgment, motives, choices, habits, speech, relationships, and priorities. The believer studies forgiveness so that he may forgive. He studies sexual morality so that he may remain clean. He studies Christian love so that he may act lovingly. He studies the disciple-making commission so that he may participate in making disciples. He studies the return of Christ so that he may live ready for Christ's return.
The historical-grammatical approach followed throughout this book is essential to that process. Faithful application depends upon faithful interpretation. The reader must ask what the inspired author communicated through the words he used within their grammatical, historical, literary, and theological setting. Application comes after meaning, not before it. Scripture does not become more relevant when its original meaning is ignored. It becomes personally authoritative when its actual meaning is understood and then allowed to govern life.
Salvation as a Continuing Christian Course
The newness described in these pages also protects the reader from reducing salvation to an isolated religious moment. Scripture certainly speaks of decisive beginnings. A sinner hears the gospel, comes to understand his condition before Jehovah, repents, places faith in Jesus Christ and the value of His sacrifice, abandons the former course, undergoes Christian baptism by immersion, and begins walking in newness of life. That beginning matters deeply. Yet the New Testament does not permit a believer to treat the beginning as though everything afterward were spiritually irrelevant.
Jesus required endurance. Paul told Christians to continue working out their salvation. Hebrews warns believers against developing an unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. Christians are instructed to remain in the faith, resist sin, cultivate the new person, pursue holiness, maintain love, continue in prayer, gather with fellow believers, proclaim the gospel, and keep looking toward Christ's return. Salvation is therefore a journey under the mercy of Jehovah and the saving work of Christ. Human works do not purchase salvation, and no amount of personal effort could replace the sacrifice of Jesus. Nevertheless, obedient faith is living faith, and the believer remains morally responsible for the course he chooses after accepting the gospel.
This explains why repentance continues to matter in Christian life. Human imperfection does not disappear at baptism. Christians stumble. They may speak wrongly, act selfishly, entertain an improper desire, misjudge another person, become spiritually careless, or temporarily yield where they should have resisted. Scripture does not tell Christians to pretend these failures do not matter. Nor does it require them to believe that one failure proves their entire Christian life was fraudulent. The proper response is confession, repentance, reliance upon Christ's sacrifice, correction, renewed obedience, and greater watchfulness. The new person is distinguished not by a claim of present sinlessness but by refusing to make peace with sin.
That distinction is especially important because modern culture often teaches people to regard personal desire as self-authenticating. If an inclination feels deeply rooted, the individual is encouraged to accept it as defining. Scripture teaches Christians to evaluate desires rather than enthrone them. Some desires are righteous and should be cultivated. Others arise from inherited imperfection, sinful habits, selfishness, pride, greed, sexual immorality, resentment, or the influence of a world alienated from God. Following Christ therefore requires more than being sincere. A person can be sincerely wrong. Christian maturity develops as the believer increasingly asks not, “What do I naturally want?” but, “What has Jehovah revealed, what has Jesus commanded, and how must my thinking change so that my conduct agrees with truth?”
Jesus Christ as Lord, Teacher, and Pattern
The structure of this book continually returns the reader to Jesus because Christian transformation cannot be detached from personal allegiance to Him. Jesus is more than an example, although His sinless example is indispensable. He is the promised Messiah, the Son of God, the sacrificial Redeemer, the risen Lord, the appointed Judge, the heavenly High Priest, the Head of the Christian congregation, and Jehovah's appointed King. His authority explains why His example matters. Christians do not merely imitate a moral hero. They follow the One to Whom Jehovah has granted authority.
His hidden years teach the dignity of quiet faithfulness. His baptism displays willing submission. His response to Satan demonstrates unwavering loyalty to Scripture. His transfiguration reveals the glory Jehovah bestowed upon Him and establishes the Father's command that disciples listen to His Son. His conduct in Gethsemane displays complete submission when obedience involved extreme anguish. His cross demonstrates sacrificial love and the cost of faithfulness. His resurrection establishes Christian hope. His ascension confirms that His earthly departure did not end His activity. His glorification declares Jehovah's approval of His faithful course and His royal authority over every competing human power. His teachings renew the believer's mind. His miracles authenticate His identity and display compassion in action. His prayer life demonstrates dependence upon His Father. His promised return calls every disciple to watchful readiness.
Yet careful distinction must always remain between what belongs uniquely to Jesus and what can properly be applied to His followers. Christians are not sinless as He was sinless. They do not repeat His ransom sacrifice. They do not possess His Messianic office. They do not reproduce His miraculous powers simply by exercising sufficient faith. They do not receive the authority Jehovah entrusted uniquely to His Son. To follow Christ is therefore not to erase the difference between the Master and the disciple. It is to recognize His unique position and then bring one's own life increasingly under the truth, commands, values, and example that flow from His authority.
A Faith That Becomes Visible
Christianity is inward in the sense that Jehovah is concerned with the heart, motives, thinking, desires, faith, and conscience. It is never merely inward. Jesus taught that trees are known by their fruit. James warned against becoming a hearer of the Word who never becomes a doer. Paul described changes so concrete that observers could recognize them: lying is replaced by truth, stealing by honest labor and generosity, corrupt speech by words that build up, bitterness by kindness and forgiveness, sexual immorality by cleanness, greed by contentment, and uncontrolled anger by self-control.
The same practical emphasis runs through the life of Jesus. His compassion moved Him to act. His love for His Father moved Him to obey. His concern for people moved Him to teach. His loyalty to truth moved Him to confront error. His dependence upon Jehovah moved Him to pray. His awareness of His mission moved Him to proclaim the Kingdom. His love for His disciples moved Him to prepare them for responsibilities they would carry after His departure. Christian transformation therefore cannot remain hidden indefinitely inside religious vocabulary. What governs the mind eventually becomes visible in life.
For that reason, these chapters repeatedly move from doctrine into ordinary circumstances. Christian character is revealed in the home, workplace, congregation, marketplace, private conversation, financial decision, disagreement, temptation, disappointment, and opportunity to serve. A believer may speak eloquently about love while treating his family harshly. He may defend biblical inerrancy while being dishonest in business. He may know the doctrine of forgiveness while carefully preserving resentment. He may affirm the return of Christ while organizing his entire life around material advantage. Such contradictions demonstrate why transformation must reach beyond correct terminology into conduct.
The ordinary nature of much Christian obedience should not cause anyone to underestimate its spiritual importance. Jesus spent many years in Nazareth before His public ministry. Scripture identifies Him as a carpenter. Those years were not meaningless because they lacked public attention. Likewise, a Christian may spend much of life working, raising children, caring for family members, maintaining a home, studying, serving fellow believers, and handling responsibilities that receive little public recognition. Faithfulness in such settings matters to Jehovah. The believer does not need constant visibility in order to live a spiritually significant life. Quiet obedience is not wasted time.
Dependence Upon Jehovah Rather Than Self-Generated Spirituality
Jesus' prayer life provides one of the clearest demonstrations that dependence upon Jehovah belongs at the center of faithful service. Jesus possessed perfect knowledge of His mission and never sinned, yet He prayed repeatedly. He withdrew from crowds to seek His Father. He prayed at decisive moments. He expressed gratitude. He prayed before choosing the apostles. He prayed in Gethsemane. He taught His disciples how to pray. His perfect obedience did not produce independence from His Father; it expressed dependence upon Him.
The Christian therefore has no reason to imagine that biblical knowledge, experience, organizational ability, determination, or religious activity makes prayer unnecessary. Prayer acknowledges that Jehovah is God and the worshipper is His dependent servant. At the same time, biblical prayer is not a mystical technique for obtaining private revelation. Jesus taught His followers to direct prayer toward the Father, to sanctify His name, to seek His Kingdom, to desire His will, to ask for necessary provision, to seek forgiveness, and to request protection from temptation and the wicked one. Prayer properly understood does not move Jehovah toward the worshipper's will. It increasingly aligns the worshipper with Jehovah's will.
This dependence also prevents the Christian life from becoming a project of self-reconstruction. Biblical renewal requires deliberate effort, but the believer never becomes his own savior. Jehovah designed the saving arrangement. Jesus supplied the sacrifice. Jehovah raised His Son from the dead. The Spirit supplied inspired revelation. Scripture teaches the way of life. The Christian responds through faith, repentance, obedience, prayer, baptism, endurance, and continued submission to truth. Every stage therefore excludes boasting while preserving genuine human responsibility.
New Life and the Work of Making Disciples
Transformation does not terminate upon the individual believer. Jesus formed disciples and commanded disciples to make other disciples. Christianity is therefore outward-facing by design. The believer learns in order to obey, and part of that obedience involves helping others learn.
The commission of Matthew 28:19-20 does not authorize superficial religious recruitment. Jesus commanded His followers to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them to observe everything He commanded. A disciple is therefore a learner who has become a follower. Christian evangelism aims at informed faith rather than emotional manipulation. People need to understand who Jehovah is, why mankind needs reconciliation with Him, who Jesus is, why His sacrificial death matters, what His resurrection means, why repentance is necessary, what baptism represents, how Christians are required to live, and what hope Scripture holds before faithful humanity.
This responsibility is not restricted to a professional religious class. The New Testament records ordinary Christians proclaiming the Word and requires believers to be prepared to give a defense for their hope. Every Christian will differ in ability, opportunity, knowledge, circumstances, and experience, but the command to bear witness to Christ belongs to the life of discipleship itself. The believer who is being made new becomes concerned that others hear the message through which new life becomes possible.
Disciple-making also continues after baptism. Jesus commanded teaching people “to observe” His commands. Christian instruction therefore aims beyond transferring information. New believers must learn how biblical truth governs marriage, family, work, speech, sexual morality, forgiveness, money, worship, association, conscience, evangelism, and the development of Christian character. Mature disciples help newer disciples become mature enough to help still others. The Christian congregation should therefore be a community of learners and teachers gathered under the authority of its Head, Jesus Christ, rather than an audience assembled around human personality.
Resurrection Hope and the World Jehovah Has Promised
Present transformation receives its full orientation from future hope. Christianity does not teach believers merely how to endure the present world more successfully. Jehovah intends something far greater than improving conditions within a system dominated by sin, death, human imperfection, and Satanic opposition. Scripture looks forward to the return of Christ, resurrection, judgment, Kingdom rule, the defeat of Satan, the abolition of death, and the righteous new order Jehovah has promised.
Jesus' resurrection stands at the center of that expectation. If Christ had remained dead, Christian hope would collapse. Because Jehovah raised Him, the believer possesses objective grounds for confidence. Jesus is not merely remembered; He lives. His resurrection is the guarantee that death can be reversed by divine power. His ascension placed Him in heaven, His glorification confirms the authority Jehovah granted Him, and His future return will publicly manifest that royal authority in connection with judgment and Kingdom rule.
This biblical hope differs sharply from the doctrine that every human possesses an inherently immortal soul that continues conscious life automatically when the body dies. Scripture identifies death as the consequence of sin and eternal life as God's gift. The dead require resurrection because death is genuine death. Jesus promised that those in the memorial tombs would hear His voice and come out. Paul directed grieving Christians toward resurrection associated with Christ's coming. Revelation looks forward to the eventual destruction of death itself.
The hope also reaches beyond resurrection to the righteous world Jehovah will establish. Revelation 21:5 places the great declaration over that future: “Look! I am making all things new.” Jehovah's purpose is not dependent upon mankind eventually repairing the present wicked order through political ingenuity or moral evolution. The righteous future comes through His action and through the King He has appointed. Christ's reign advances toward the defeat of every enemy, with death finally abolished. Revelation describes a world in which mourning, crying, pain, and death no longer dominate human existence. The righteous can therefore look beyond the grave and beyond every unstable human system toward what Jehovah Himself has promised.
Scripture also reveals that some are appointed to share heavenly Kingdom rule with Christ, while obedient humanity enjoys the blessings of that righteous administration. The Christian hope must therefore be defined by Scripture rather than by the assumption that heaven is automatically the destiny of every righteous person. Jesus promised that the meek would inherit the earth, and the biblical story reaches its appointed goal not through abandoning Jehovah's purpose for His creation but through removing everything that has corrupted human life under sin.
Living Between Christ's Resurrection and His Return
Christians presently live between accomplished redemption and promised completion. Jesus has already died. He has already been raised. He has already ascended. Jehovah has already exalted Him. Yet death still exists, Satan still opposes God's servants, human imperfection remains, wickedness continues, and Christ's future return still lies ahead. The believer therefore lives in a period requiring faith, endurance, watchfulness, moral courage, evangelistic activity, and continuing renewal.
Watchfulness must not be confused with prophetic sensationalism. Jesus did not command His disciples to determine dates He did not reveal. He warned them to remain ready. The difference is profound. Speculation attempts to master the timetable. Watchfulness submits to the Master. Sensationalism continually searches public events for secret prophetic codes. Biblical readiness asks whether the returning Christ would find His servant faithful.
The Christian who expects Christ's return therefore has strong reason to keep his conscience clean today. He has reason to resist temptation today, forgive today, pray today, study Scripture today, speak truth today, care for his family today, participate in Christian fellowship today, help people in need today, and proclaim the good news today. Future expectation produces present responsibility.
Christ's return also gives courage when obedience is costly. The disciple does not measure Jehovah's approval solely by immediate circumstances. Jesus was rejected, slandered, arrested, and executed, yet Jehovah raised and glorified Him. Present hardship therefore cannot be used as a reliable measure of divine disapproval. The Christian who loses social approval because he remains loyal to biblical morality, who sacrifices financial advantage rather than become dishonest, who endures ridicule for defending Scripture, or who continues proclaiming Christ despite opposition can remember that human judgment does not possess the final word. Jehovah's judgment does.
Reading These Chapters as a Call to Christian Maturity
The chapters that follow are arranged around the conviction that a serious look at Jesus should produce a serious look at ourselves. His birth directs us toward the necessity of new birth. His quiet years force us to reconsider our obsession with visibility. His baptism confronts us with obedience and disciple-making. His resistance to Satan exposes the need for a Scripture-governed mind. His transfiguration calls us to listen to Him and put on the new person. His agony in Gethsemane teaches faithful submission when suffering is severe. His cross exposes self-rule and defines costly discipleship. His resurrection gives new life and living hope. His ascension establishes continuing allegiance to the heavenly Christ. His glorification directs the believer toward the future Jehovah has promised. His teaching renews the mind. His miracles challenge transformed action. His prayer life teaches dependence upon Jehovah. His Second Coming demands watchful readiness. These themes form the actual progression of the manuscript rather than treating Christian maturity as a collection of unrelated devotional subjects.
The goal is not admiration without change. A reader can admire Jesus' courage while remaining afraid to obey Him, admire His purity while protecting private immorality, admire His forgiveness while nursing resentment, admire His prayer life while rarely praying, admire His teachings while refusing to practice them, and admire His disciple-making ministry while never speaking to another person about the gospel. Such admiration falls short of discipleship.
Jesus called people to follow Him. Following requires movement. It requires learning what He taught, accepting Who He is, placing faith in His sacrifice, submitting to His authority, abandoning conduct He condemns, cultivating qualities He approves, participating in the work He commanded, and continuing faithfully toward the future He promised. The believer does this imperfectly but deliberately, relying upon Jehovah's mercy and the saving work accomplished through Christ.
Making All Things New therefore addresses the Christian who refuses to treat spiritual maturity as an optional concern. The question running beneath these chapters is not merely whether we possess Christian beliefs but whether those beliefs are making us recognizably Christian. Has biblical truth changed the way we reason? Has the authority of Jesus changed the way we make decisions? Has the hope of resurrection changed the way we think about death? Has Christ's sacrifice changed the way we view sin? Has His forgiveness changed the way we respond to those who wrong us? Has His prayer life changed our dependence upon Jehovah? Has His commission changed our willingness to make disciples? Has His promised return changed what we value now?
Jehovah's purpose moves toward a righteous world in which the destructive consequences of rebellion will not remain forever. The glorified Christ will not fail in the work His Father has entrusted to Him. Death will not reign endlessly. Satan's opposition will not endure indefinitely. The present wicked order will not determine mankind's final condition. Jehovah will accomplish what He has declared, and His Son stands at the center of that accomplishment. The person who truly believes that future will begin learning now to love the truth, righteousness, obedience, worship, and faithful service that belong to it.
The invitation of these pages is therefore to look carefully at Jesus Christ as Scripture reveals Him and then permit that truth to reach every part of life. Not a reconstructed Jesus shaped by modern preference. Not a mystical Christ discovered through inward impressions. Not merely the gentle figure of popular religious sentiment. The Jesus of inspired history is Jehovah's obedient Son, promised Messiah, uncompromising Teacher, compassionate Servant, sacrificial Redeemer, risen Lord, heavenly King, and returning Judge. He calls His disciples away from the old course of sin and self-rule into a life increasingly governed by the Word of God.
The making of all things new will ultimately be Jehovah's accomplishment through His appointed Son. Until that promised renewal arrives in its fullness, every Christian is called to live as a person already learning the ways of the coming righteous order: renewed in mind, transformed in conduct, steadfast in faith, dependent upon Jehovah, loyal to Christ, active in making disciples, grounded in resurrection hope, and ready for the return of the King.
