Miraculous today
By Dani Klotz
The last chapter in Hebrews is full of nuggets of wisdom for the daily lives of Christians. This letter, originally written to Jewish believers, describes Jesus as the key to a new and better covenant. Faithfulness to the new covenant, which addresses a changed reality, is emphasized throughout the book. And the last chapter outlines ways to participate in and experience more fully what God began, and Jesus completed.
In my own walk with Christ, I often come back to the book of Hebrews. I need to be reminded that the God I serve was not just miraculous when time began and when Christ walked on water, but is also miraculous today. I need to be challenged to see, experience, and believe in the new movements of the Holy Spirit.
The stories throughout this issue of Beyond tell of these movements. They share of moments when God’s will is revealed through unexpected experiences. And they testify to the great diversity in which the Holy Spirit is present and flourishing.
At Mission Network, we often say that God’s mission, from the beginning of time, has not changed. It remains to reconcile all things to God. But the ways in which it is achieved have always been, and continue to be, surprising. I hope this issue inspires you to keep your heart and eyes open as well!
