What Does the End Mean?
The end in Christian circles means a new beginning. Some will say what the is just a bunch of nonsense, the end is just that the end. As a Christian, I believe that when I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, there was an ending. What ended was my life before acknowledging the gift of redemption through Jesus’ death on the cross for me. My restoration or renewal and new life was and is a journey. This journey is reshaping me. This is not to say that parts of my life were all bad but rather now I have a hope I did not have before choosing a new path. I am a work in progress.
