This life is not all there is

25 Nov 2021 • From Bishop Richard Jackson

Bishop Richard offers us a message of hope as we approach Advent.

He says: "The material and time-bound secular world view provides little to compel moral conformity, nor to provide hope.  'Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die' is the best advice it can give.  But we [Christians] believe that Christ will come again, history will not continue indefinitely and we look forward to a new heaven and new earth. Not just dying and going to heaven, but the life of eternity so infusing the reality of this world that everything is transformed."
