Living As God’s Previews
Sometime back, my husband and I went to the movies for the first time in years. It was a fun date, and as we settled in, we watched a full 20 minutes of previews. These trailers are designed to grab our attention—fast-paced chase scenes, dramatic love stories, thrilling fights—all carefully crafted to entice us to see the main feature.
As I watched, it got me thinking: how well do we, as believers, showcase the light and wonder of God’s kingdom to the world around us? Someday, a grand, world-changing production—the full revelation of God’s glory—will arrive. But until then, we and the Church are like the previews, offering glimpses of what’s to come.
Are our “clips” strong? Are they exciting, compelling, and reflective of God’s power and love? Or are they weak and forgettable? Each choice we make, every act of kindness, every word of encouragement, is a small glimpse of the ultimate feature film God is creating.
Let’s embrace the calling to live as previews of His kingdom—so that the world may catch a glimpse of His glory through us, and be drawn to the main event that is yet to come.
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
