Reasons to be cheerful?

So here we go. 2022. Covid-19 is still with us. There’ll be new variants and vaccines no doubt throughout the year.

We’re technically only a few years away from another General Election. All the while, the business of government continues. As I look ahead there are, from a Christian perspective, real challenges on the horizon and some opportunities as well.

I’m an optimist by nature. Not for me the perspective that thinks everything will just get worse and worse before Jesus steps in once again to rescue His people. No! There are tremendous promises attached to the growth of Christ’s Kingdom. All things are under Him, for the sake of the church. His power is undiminished and He reigns in that place of special honour, over the entire universe. As I reflect on these truths and the failures and the weaknesses of contemporary leaders here in the West, what an enormous relief to know that our King is so extraordinarily perfect.
