More than Meets the Eye
The rider on the white horse appears in John’s vision, and it looks like God will conquer through violence. However, Shawna Boren explains there is more than meets the eye, and when we read at a deeper level, we actually see a rider who wages war like a shepherd caring for their flock.
Happy Ever After
Greg Boyd calls us to participate in the divine-human marriage relationship between Christ and his people. We are made to experience divine love and to live in love, which will be fully realized upon Christ’s return.
