Sometimes we cheat. We'll be reading a book, getting lost in the story, getting attached to the characters, worrying about what will happen to them, when it occurs to us that their future is in our hands -- literally. We can flip ahead a few pages or go right to the final chapter and know the future now. We have that power. We can know who makes it. We can know who did it. We can know who ends up together and who are separated forever. We do not, however, hold our own future in our hands. We can't flip ahead and know all the answers, but we do know what's on the last page. Jesus lives.
