Christ: The Hope For Tomorrow

Mark Dever said:
You have not met a trouble that you will not outlast if you are in Christ . . . If God wants you to live yesterday again, He will give it to you to live tomorrow.

Tim Keller writes:
As a child blossoms under the authority of a wise and good parent, as a team flourishes under the direction of a skillful, brilliant coach, so when you come under the healing of the royal hands, under the kingship of Jesus, everything in your life will begin to heal. And when he comes back, everything sad in your life will come untrue. His return will usher in the end of fear, suffering, and death.

Timothy Keller, King's Cross: The Story of the World in the Life of Jesus (New York: Dutton, 2011), 16-17.
