Daniel describes his vision in chapter 8 as -appalling.- We'll see how many years from Daniel, the camp of the enemy surrounds God's people, and all seems hopeless. And when we get a glimpse of this vision along with Daniel, we long to fix our eyes on One who can-offer hope. Amidst the apparent hopelessness in the present, we are exhorted to turn our eyes to the Lord of hope, who is the Lord of the past, present, and future. As a way to help us see this, we'll turn to two points- --1- The rise and triumph of evil, and -2- Our response to it.

Message- From Here to Eternity-Revelation 5-Dr. J. Mark Beach--This passage involves John's vision -in the midst of trial and suffering, as many churches then were also being persecuted for their faith- in which God shows John the only One worthy -Jesus Christ, the Lamb- to enact God's will for history and the blessing and victory of the church in the present and the future. So, the scroll is about God's will -Thy will Be Done-, and Jesus is the One who can make God's will be accomplished-unto present sufferings and trials but also unto hope and victory. This sermon aims to give us perspective for the New Year and for the various trials within our own lives.

Paul prays for discerning love and describes its purposes. Love is the sum of all commands and the root of all virtues. Our pursuit of love is not purposeless, but allows us to live lives of excellence. On the day of Christ, we will realize that the fruits of this righteous love will not be because of our own selves, but because Jesus Christ has worked it in us. Hence, the ultimate purpose is the glory of God.
