1 Thessalonians 3:11-13

Church is a family, but not just any family, it’s God’s family. God himself is our Father and he directs us, leads us, guides us according to his own way, in ways he knows best. The Christian life, following Jesus is really all about following our Father’s will on our way home, into His presence. Today we walk side by side, together, as family, glad to not be alone, better because we journey together. Ahead of us is home, forever. What it will be we don’t yet fully grasp, but our Father awaits us, and has paid dearly in His Son to welcome us into his presence.
