What's all the fuss about?

I have been playing around with verses one and two of Colossians, chapter one. Let’s finish the sentence (3a) today.

 

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

when we pray for you, 

since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus

and of the love that you have for all the saints, 

because of the hope laid up for you in heaven

Col 1.1-3a

 

“the hope laid up for you in heaven”

 

It’s funny how Christians pray so earnestly that old sick people don’t die.

And, all the more so, for young sick ones.

Sure, I like a miracle as much as the next guy,

but the very reason most of us joined the Jesus team

was because we thought heaven by grace was one mighty fine deal.

 

So why do we make such a fuss about going there?

 

…the hope of heaven.

I want it.
