If Jesus actually ushered in the kingdom of heaven, why would anyone cheer for its demise? Yes, I want to see sin disappear. I’d love to have a political system that rules with love and promotes peace and justice. But until then, God needs us here.
Instead of being dismayed that you didn’t get raptured, be grateful you still have time to make a difference. “Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’” (Matthew 25:34-36)
