Lesslie Newbigin on Hope That Sustains - Missional (Revelation 21:4)

Source: Lesslie Newbigin45 words

"This vision sustains mission: we work toward a world without tears. God's future breaks into our present; we are signs of coming comfort. Every tear we wipe now anticipates the final wiping. Mission is participating in God's tear-ending work." — Lesslie Newbigin. Missional: anticipatory comfort.
