Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

What are you looking forward to? Many folks were looking forward to this holiday weekend and spending time with family and friends. Or maybe you're looking forward to a new job, to finishing school, or something else awaiting you in 2019. The Introit we sang today reminded us of something else, too, that as Christians we are looking forward to: We are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. And it will not just be the home of righteousness, it will be our home, too. So heaven an earth, this world, this creation, it's dying. But as Christians, we know what comes next.
