This thought-provoking article from Matt Jolley of LICC reminds us that ‘to be a Christian is to be well-acquainted with the tension between the now and the not yet, as we see both beauty and brokenness on our frontlines’, reminding us through the witness and testimony of Grammy-award-winning artist Jon Batiste that ‘Jesus, pioneer and perfecter of faith, endured the cross because of the joy set before him (Hebrews 12:1–3). As we fix our eyes on him, the same joy bleeds into us, giving us strength when we’re weary and hope when we’re losing heart. Through his sacrifice, we’re liberated from the darkness to dance to the music of the resurrection.’
Worth reading and dancing!
