The Voices of Sinners and Saints

As abbaschild25 and I were just discussing: One can be fulfilled this side of heaven. There's no huge chasm between heaven and earth. Jesus is Lord of all. As he taught his disciples to pray...thy kingdom come, ON EARTH, as it is in heaven. It's not the other way around. Do we see the implications? Heaven isn't necessarily the end-all, be-all (yes heaven will be awesome but....we are living now, on earth, in the present). We're not just waiting to escape to our pie in the sky. Again, remember, Jesus is Lord of all - earth and heaven. Though I hate to even break it up like that. Hope this makes sense.  It does to me.  My thanks go out to Bishop Wright in making this so clear to one appeciative of his both his scholarship of and love for the historical Jesus.
