Keswick '19 - Evening Celebration Week 1 Day 7: Andy Prime
Matthew 25: 1-13. 'Longing for the Lord's Return'. From the series 'Parables: Longing for the King'. People in Israel were on tenterhooks, waiting, longing, hoping. Their longing clustered around a number of interlocking expectations: they were waiting for the consolation of Israel, for God to ‘remember’ his covenant with Abraham, for salvation or deliverance from their enemies, for salvation from and forgiveness of their sins, for God to come and establish his kingdom in Zion, for a Messiah, a son of David to come, for peace. And into that longing, Jesus told parables. These reshaped and refracted their longings, rather than simply reflecting them. Will we let them reshape and refract our longings, too?
