Without apology, Jesus encourages us to center our hope and dreams on everything eternal, over, even against everything temporal. This doesn't mean He isn’t concerned about our life in the here and now. It simply means everything that truly matters now can follow us. If it can’t, it won’t matter.
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” Romans 8:1 Conversations Within ts 12/5/2022
