Think with me for a moment about what will really matter 100 years from now. Really......close your eyes and think for just a moment about where you will be and what will truly matter. As a believer, you might picture the streets of gold, the gates made of pearl, or the grand mansions just waiting to be inhabited. Perhaps you think about your loved ones who are in paradise at this very moment and long to see them again. Maybe you have suffered great physical or emotional pain and look forward to the day when everything will be restored. There are many of you reading this and thinking about the moment you meet the Lord Jesus face to face. What will it be like to look into His tender, consuming, loving eyes? The reason for my questions are simple: I cannot get my mind wrapped around Christians today who think this life, this earth, and this daily existence is the pinnacle of joy. Not all verbalize it, but it is certainly implied by misplaced affections. Lets try to see why a believer would look at this life as paradise now while thinking of heaven, dying, or the Lord's return with melancholy or even despair. In this believer's life, heaven is on hold.
