The Legacy that we stand on

While listening to Bro Dabb's sermon yesterday, it became clear to me what a great legacy we are standing on today.

Countless people have given their lives for the gospel. Starting from the prophets of old who were rejected by their people, some even hunted to be killed. They were followed by Our Lord Himself, who gave His life for us as the ultimate sacrifice. If everything else never happened, this alone is more than good enough to keep us going. The disciples followed in his footsteps, and many more are still paying a high price to carry on the Gospel.

Getting the big picture into view, we have indeed come into the Kingdom for such a time as this. Life is much more than a town we pass through, or a long transit stop. We are part of something that's as old as the earth itself. We are part of an operation that launched 2000 years ago, on a mission that has to be completed. They that came before us have done their part, fulfilled their role. It is now up to us to carry on our part of the greatest rescue mission in history.
