So why didn't God just bring an end to things after Jesus died and rose again? Why has God allowed over two thousand years to pass since Jesus launched the church? Why is he delaying? God could bring an end to our world as we know it right now. Jesus could have come back any time. He could come back today. But God is giving us time during the era of the church for more people to repent and come to him through faith in Jesus. God wants more people to be forgiven, to be restored in their relationship with him, to share in the bigger life, and to spend eternity with him. Text: Matthew 28:18-20
