That got me thinking about all when Jesus came. There was nothing observable in the world that indicated that anything positive was going to happen. The world was a dark place spiritually, with oppression & racism.
Demonic beliefs & practices were on the rampage. Women, children, & the disabled weren't valued. There was nothing to indicate that there was any change coming.
Today, it's just the same. There's a lot of hatred & racism being expressed. Those in government who are supposed to serve us seem to be serving themselves.
In many ways the church really struggles. Nothing seems to be happening spiritually that's uplifting, liberating, transformative, & empowering to people.
So, nothing appears to have really changed, at least outwardly. Much appears to be like it was when Jesus came.
One thing I've learned is that God doesn't usually work in blatant in-your-face ways. He usually works behind the scenes in ways that we can't see with our eyes. But the transformation IS coming and we WILL see it with our eyes.
Jesus transformed this world thru His first coming 2000 years ago that we can't even imagine from our perspective today.
He is coming again, but He has more changes in mind to do in you & thru you before He returns.
Be encouraged & look for His coming. But keep your eyes open for the things that he's doing today.
