The End is Near

On this day in 1914, G. K. Chesterton and his friends spent four hours as amateur actors improvising a trial based upon Dicken’s unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Chesterton played the judge.

“I wish Dickens had finished Drood and left others to begin it.” Leon Garfield, foreword to his own 1980 version of the Dickens mystery.”

When we leave this earth, we leave unfinished business. When Christ died he was able to say, “it is finished” because he had accomplished all that his father had given him to do. I pray that I will be able to accomplish whatever God created me to do before I go home.

Hebrews 9:27, 28
Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
