What difference does thinking about the end of history make for our faith? Probably little--but it should make quite a bit of difference. After arguing that only the comfortable don't long for God's future--that the oppressed do--Zack spends the bulk of this sermon mining Scripture to help expand our imagination of what God's good future entails. Not just restoring what we lost in the Fall, God will give us even more than we lost. Indeed, at least some human works will themselves endure as the Heavenly Father "frames the pictures" of the children in whom He delights. And whom He dearly loves: the sermon ends by observing that Jesus was always the lamb who was slain (even before he was slain!).
