In the wake of tragedy and grief, one of the hardest questions we face is whether God is near or distant. This message takes us directly into that tension, drawing from Revelation 21 to remind us that the entire storyline of Scripture is not about a God who stands at a safe distance from human suffering, but one who pitches his tent right in the middle of it. From the wilderness tabernacle to the incarnation of Jesus, God has always moved toward his people in their pain.
