When I was a member of Fellowship Bible Church, we had these bumper stickers with IGBOK on them. That stood for It’s Gonna Be O.K. A worthy motto then, and a worthy motto now.

It’s not some kind of pie in the sky fantasy wishful thinking. It’s based on the reality of God’s revealed Word. As Billy Graham once said, I’ve read the last chapter of the Bible, and everything really is going to be okay.

Actually, better than just okay. It’s going to be the best imaginable future that anyone can hope for. For those who have hoped in Christ, it will be way better than your best dreams or your wildest fantasies.

Sometimes, it’s hard to see the ending when you’re stuck in the middle. It’s a it like the old saying that you can’t see the forest for the trees. When you’re too close to something, you can’t really see the big picture and how it’s unfolding.

Spoiler alert: God wins. Good wins. Everything evil and wrong comes untrue. Everything will be made right. It will be like all the fairy tale stories come to life, but infinitely better. It really is going to be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not yet the end.
