comfort one another with these words

“Can your eschatology make me love Jesus more?” What a gut-punching question! I overheard it one Sunday morning during a spirited discussion between an older brother in Christ and a younger man. Unsurprisingly, the younger fellow responded with a resounding “Yes.” As a young pastor, I admit I caved to the temptation to respond likewise. However, by God’s grace, a second thought about the question has me reexamining my words.
