Everything You Need to Know about the End of Time

Today I told our congregation that I could tell them everything we need to know about the end of time in five words. (Kept them in suspense about the specific five words until the very end. Occupational hazard. Preachers and politicians have the same affliction - We take twenty minutes to say what could be said in five minutes.)

So here's what I told them. (SPOILER ALERT: If you don't want to know what you need to know about the end of it all, log off now.) Here's everything you need to know about the end times in five words: JESUS WINS IN THE END.

Now, I admit that I thought this was pretty spot-on, but some other folks came up with five word formulas that were right on the money! Here they are, with credit given - everything we need to hear about believe about the end of time:

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT! (Mark Deane)

IT'S NOT UP TO US! (Mike Marsh)

BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! (Danny Kuykendall)

This is great. I'm sure there are others. What's your five word summation of the end from a faith perspective? I'll see you around the next bend in the river.
