We Need To Talk About Heaven

When Jesus teaches us to pray he tells us to long for the reality of heaven here on earth. What he doesn’t tell us to ask for is to escape earth so we can go to heaven. When we see that we are called to be citizens, ambassadors, and heirs of the kingdom of heaven here on earth we begin to see that our hope is not to leave this place but to set up outposts of goodness and beauty right where we are that point to the kingdom yet to come.
