Trinity Fellowship

There is a uniqueness to the time that Jesus Christ spent on earth. His life very literally the hinge of world history. As His earthly ministry draws to a close on Tuesday of Holy Week, the border between one age and another is becoming very thin. The generation that killed Jesus is going to continue carrying out their bloodlust on His messengers until their chalice is full. When their iniquity is complete, judgment from heaven is visited on that generation. These days of vengeance (Luke 21:22) mark the vindication of Christ's ministry, the destruction of His accusers, and the glorious sunrise of the new covenant after the end of that age. Echoes of the fall persist even now as the new covenant age advances, but no matter the duration or intensity of our suffering, Jesus's instructions are timeless. Do not be led astray. Stand firm. Persevere. You are safe under His wings.

One of the defining marks of the Christian is that they possess the Holy Spirit; that is, they participate in the fellowship that the Spirit creates. Because there is only one Spirit, true participation in Him will send us in the direction of sharing the same mind and the same love as other believers. Being of one mind does not mean unthinking conformity, nor does it allow for unthinking non-conformity. Being of one mind is not a path to the lowest-common-denominator approach to the faith, nor is it sectarian and schismatic. Being of one mind is both generous and defined. As another year draws to a close, we have occasion to reflect on what God has done, is doing, and will do at Trinity Fellowship. Already He has blessed us with a robust theological tradition, and with warm and inviting fellowship; gifts which we must not take for granted. Under the kind mercy of God, it is up to each one of us to ensure that these blessings outlive us all, even to a thousand generations.

It is often hard for us to trust God in the silence. Days, weeks, and sometimes even years pass without a significant breakthrough. The prophet Daniel explains a prophecy that is going to unfold over 400 years of silence. Though the God of heaven is not speaking in this time, He is most certainly at work, preparing the world for the Uncut Stone who is about to make landfall and supplant the kingdoms of the earth. The language, the translation, the roads, the civic peace, the religious meeting places, and the hungry audience are all in place. The world is pregnant with anticipation, and it is now time for us to receive our king.

Do you want to share in the blood of the prophets? Do you want their blood coursing through your veins, and spilling out in self-sacrifice? Every man, woman, and child must somehow partake in this martyr's blood, either as the sons of the prophets, or as the sons of their murderers. We will be implicated in the blood of the prophets one way or another. We either join as sons whose fathers shed the blood of the prophets, or we become sons of the prophets themselves, but it is blood either way. The one path continues to lead to destruction, as it always has. The other leads to both present and future glory, as we enjoy union with the One who has the final word; who filled the fountain with His blood, that all who partake lose all their guilty stains.
