What will our eternal future be like? What will our bodies and the place we live be like? Chances are, it will be different than what you thought it would be growing up. It will be far greater than you can imagine!ABOUT THIS SERIES:For these four weeks of Advent, we look at the four main "chapters" of redemptive history, and how God's Wisdom is seen in these and, collectively, how they display His Wisdom in ultimate fashion. We will look at Creation, the Fall, Redemption, and the Restoration, and how His Wisdom weaves in and through all of them to create the most incredulous, miraculous story ever conceived.
The world encourages us to be ambassadors for the pleasures of this life, but we are citizens of a better, future homeland. Like Noah, who built an ark for an unseen event, and Abraham, who left his home for an unknown country, we must acknowledge that we are strangers and exiles on this earth. Our earthly pursuits are merely a path toward something greater, a steppingstone toward our eternal inheritance.
When we focus on heaven, our eternal perspective should fuel our present passion and diligence, making us better ambassadors for Christ. We must imitate those who pursue Christ, putting all our time, treasures, and talents into the Kingdom, because where your treasure is, your heart will be also.
