Jesus, unlike the founder of any other major faith, holds out hope for ordinary human life. Our future is not an ethereal, impersonal form of consciousness. We will not float through the air, but rather will eat, embrace, sing, laugh and dance in the kingdom of God, in degrees of power, glory, and joy that we can't at present imagine. Jesus will make the world our perfect home again. We will no longer be living "East of Eden," always wandering and never arriving.

I've heard it said that most religions are about man's search for God; Christianity is about God's pursuit of man.
