Pastor Stander reflects on the Christian hope that extends beyond the Second Coming. Using the book of Hebrews, he reminds believers that although they face suffering, persecution, and the feeling of not yet being “home,” their true identity and rest are found in Jesus Christ. Hebrews presents Jesus as the ultimate revelation of God—the better leader, sacrifice, and High Priest—and encourages believers to live by the “currencies” of God’s kingdom: faith and hope.

He emphasizes that the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 point to Jesus, who is the perfect example of living by faith, sharing fully in human struggle and temptation. Though God’s people die without receiving the earthly fulfillment of the promise, they remain pilgrims looking for a heavenly country.

Revelation’s closing chapters reveal what lies beyond the Second Coming: God will relocate His throne to the earth made new, and the redeemed will see Him face to face. Pastor Stander stresses that heaven is not about golden streets or earthly upgrades—it is about being in the presence of God and the Lamb.

He concludes by urging believers to keep their divine appointment with God, trusting His grace until the day they see Him face to face.
