Don’t Forget the Past | AWR360°
How would you feel if you knew, without a doubt, that Jesus would return this year? It would affect every decision you made! Everything in your life would be seen in a different light. Despite hardships, ridicule or persecution, there would be joy knowing Jesus was coming in just a few months! That’s how our first Adventist pioneers felt. They knew Jesus was coming—they even had the date! Can you imagine? What sweet joy must have filled their hearts. Below is a short video reviewing the lives of some of these pioneers. With picturesque scenery and interesting anecdotes, Cami takes us on a tour of some historic sites. It has been said that we have nothing to fear for the future, unless we forget how God has led us in the past. Let’s reflect on God’s leading as we watch this video. These faithful pioneers are now resting in Jesus, waiting for that incredible resurrection morning. What a day that will be! May it be soon. “Amen, come Lord Jesus!” Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey | AWR President MB01ON52CHPRFNA Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9owVT1Y2Ek
