Don't Make the Mistakes of the Past

What if the Christ we have been waiting for has already arrived and is present with us right now? This message challenges us to examine the constructs of mind we have built around our faith and asks a penetrating question: are we living in relationship with a present Christ, or have we deferred everything meaningful to some future moment we keep waiting for? Drawing on prophetic scriptures from Genesis, Jeremiah, Micah, and Isaiah, we trace the long arc of anticipation that pointed toward a Messiah, and then we sit with the sobering reality that when he arrived, the very people who had studied those prophecies the longest failed to recognize him. Their theology had become a cage rather than a door.
