In the midst of the stuff of life, we long for God's kingdom. Through heartaches we long for the day of no more death. In our failings we long to be free from the presence of sin. In love for our Lord, we long for Him to receive on earth the glory and adoration which He is due. But we are not yet in that day. While we wait in these last days, we are not to pass our time imagining the future. Jesus is very clear about what He has given us, as His body, to do.
