Christians have always been fascinated with prophecy. We want to know what God is doing, where history is headed. But too often we look in the wrong places—blood moons, breaking news, headlines that rise and fall with the day. Some follow people claiming to have the gift of prophecy, ignoring the warnings in scripture about what should happen to someone who’s wrong even once. But hey, that’s another sermon series for another time. Truthfully? I think those are the worst places to search if you want proof that God is keeping His promises. The clearest prophecy being fulfilled is right here, in the church, people who should be divided are united in Christ. Every time we lay down our personal preferences for the sake of the Gospel & unity, we’re not just getting along. We’re actually stepping into real-time prophecy. We become part of the fulfillment of God’s ancient promises. I think the way we treat each other in matters of personal preference reveals how much we trust God’s promises. So, how sure are you that the things you think are most important are worth the tension they cause in God’s family? How sure are you that your strongest opinions are the ones that matter most in God’s sovereign plan? That’s why we need this text today; because God’s vision for His people is bigger, older, and more beautiful than ours.
