We short change ourselves when we believe that Heaven is simply a destination. In such a view, Heaven becomes little more to us than an improvement of life as we know it. This view robs us of what God intends. We settle for less and as a result live inadequately. It is like settling into a prison camp when God has freedom to offer. What God wants for his followers is vastly greater than a destination. Jesus Christ in his revelation prepares us to receive so much more than improved circumstances. He prepares us to receive himself. What Christ promises the persecuted and co-opted Church is hope that transforms. Through an adequate vision of our future we dust off our spiritual mediocrity and shoulder disappointment and suffering because this we know; the best is yet to come!
