2 Corinthians 5:1-2 "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling"

When the clay jar is broken and when the tent is destroyed, we know we have something waiting for us. We know that we have something permanent to replace this temporary physical body. We have a building not made with hands, meaning, that it is not of this creation (Hebrews 9:11).

It is this eternal body from God that we desire (5:2). We groan for it. We long for it. Is this true for us or are we content staying here? Notice the picture Paul gives for Christians is that they have an intense longing for heaven. We groan for eternity. We are not satisfied with life here. We want life with God! We want to be with him! We want to shed this tent for the eternal building God has made for us to have. The mortal will now inherit life. This is what we groan for and long for!
