Hope For The Future

Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, a hope for the future, that directly impacted the way he lived his life in the present. His dream of a just future was the cause of his ongoing program throughout his life. His fight for justice in the present was the direct effect of his hope of the perfect justice that would one day be consummated in the coming kingdom. Likewise, the future hope of the church should be the driving force behind the redemptive work of the church in the here and now.
