Episode 407: Questions to Ask God, Part Four--Why the Long Wait?

In this final episode of our series, "Questions We'd Like to Ask God," colleagues in ministry Erica, Sarah, Natalie, and Steve wrestle with the matter of two millennia Christians have been waiting for the coming of Christ in glory.  Why has Jesus not come back yet? And is that a matter of the fixed timing of God's plan, or somehow is it up to human choices or actions?  Is there anything anybody can do that would delay or speed up Jesus' coming?  And when we say Jesus is coming again, do we mean to say that Jesus is missing now--or that he is present in hidden ways and we are waiting for the fullness of his presence to be revealed?   How might our whole conversation be affected by our experience of time as a limited beings compared to God's way of being?  All of these questions and more are part of the wrestling this week on Crazy Faith Talk!
