Waiting

Waiting.

It has to be the most miserable way to live a life?  Stuck in the terminal.

We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.

Last evening we thought about these words.  If we only have one life in this world why do Christians waste it waiting?  What good is it to believe mainly in the future?  Why would anyone want to lay up treasures in heaven when they've never seen heaven?  Why not just live life to the full and to hell (whoops . . .) with the consequences?

The Terminal shows that just because someone is waiting, doesn't mean life is meaningless.  To the contrary, Viktor ends up with some better relationships that the people rushing past him. 

Sure, this world could be a better place to wait in.  But the fact I am waiting for Another Place does not make my life useless - just a great deal more hopeful!
