Following Jesus’ atoning death and triumphal resurrection, the final chapter in the emergence of God’s Kingdom began Easter afternoon and continues until Christ’s return. Its heart is Holy Spirit-empowered proclamation of repentance in Jesus’ name to the ends of the earth. Like Eden’s garden and Old Testament Israel, today’s Church is where God’s laws are established, where His presence is known, where the heavenly realities of love and forgiveness and salvation are experienced. We welcome to our pulpit this Sunday, Lee DeYoung who brings us this week’s message as an extension of Pastor Mark’s Lenten series “The Darkness Before the Dawn” and Easter’s jubilant culmination “Dawn Has Come.”
