Many Rooms

The Half Doz (my affectionate nomenclature for my family) are in a transition period right now, what with moving and looking for a job. All this talk of “temporary” and “wait-and-see” has really got me to thinking about all of life. You know, man’s life is a vapor, the flower appears for a moment and fades away. Truly, we are passing through as aliens in a strange land. This sin-stained world is not our home, so don’t get too comfy. We are headed to an eternal home. What will it be like, I wonder? One thing’s for sure: we will be at home. There will be plenty of space (big deal for us Baylors), no more tears/sadness, and sin and death will be gone. There will be a New Heaven, a New Earth and a New Jerusalem: sounds to me like Jesus is preparing a place for us that’s bigger, better and cooler than all the good our current earth and sky have to offer. We’ll have new bodies, which will be good for some of us ;). More than all of this, we’ll be in the presence of the One who breathes life into our feeble bodies. We’ll be surrounded by the Father’s satisfaction; it will be written all over his ever-present face because our sin was written all over his Son’s body on the cross. Life will make sense. Peace will reign. Can’t wait!
