I think too many of us as Christians tend to think of 'heaven' as the ultimate destination, something like the Elysian Fields or Valhalla, which have the perfect destination entered immediately after death as a place completely separate from the world of the living. But this is not the Biblical picture. We await the day for Jesus to return and the job to be completed :-) I think Philippians 3:20 also has this idea, with Jesus bringing the consummated kingdom with him when he comes from heaven. I once semi-provocatively preached a sermon I entitled: I can't wait to get out of heaven!cjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417234566548082153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20650896.post-1145532564737280302006-04-20T21:29:00.000+10:002006-04-20T21:29:00.000+10:00Hi Craig.The story of the transformation of the WC...Hi Craig.<BR/>The story of the transformation of the WCOG is a great story of God's grace, isn't it.
