We see God at the centre of our life. We see Him, working out His purpose of grace. He is fitting us for heaven. This is the goal of our life on earth. This is a glorious goal - "Eye has not seen nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). This perspective of glorious hope, proclaimed in the Gospel of Christ's resurrection, is developed more fully in the Book of Revelation. The message of glorious and eternal hope is brought to us by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15. This message is emphasized more fully in the Book of Revelation. "A door is opened in heaven" (Revelation 4:1). The glory of heaven shines upon the earth. The people of God are called to press on to the heavenly glory that awaits them. Through "the revelation of Jesus Christ", we are raised above a life that's going nowhere. We're going somewhere. We're going to be with Jesus. We're going to be where He is. On earth, we're learning to give all the glory to Him. We're being prepared for the glory of the heavenly worship, so wonderfully described for us in the Book of Revelation.
