IS THIS THE END?
There is a big thing on people’s minds at the moment. It is AI (Artificial Intelligence). People are getting very worried that this might be the thing that tips the world towards it’s end or at least, changes our lives so radically that we might long for the end!
When the very people creating AI are saying it might eventually end humanity, that is worrying!
In these last weeks of the church year, we hear Jesus speaking much about the end. So, with Jesus, we ponder the possible impact of AI and God’s promised end of the world and our place in his new world already begun by the death and resurrection of Jesus who now rules the world and keeps his church.
I believe the Lord would have us take the fear and speculation about AI seriously and yet, hear what He says about how we face AI and the end.
Pastor Adrian
