Just as the flood came without warning, so Jesus will return like a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10). Therefore, we must be ready at any moment, not presuming upon God’s patience, but living in light of our eternal home He is preparing for us.
We are moving to an end without end in the Kingdom of Christ, and we are wise if we live in light of that destiny. Thomas Cole’s paintings call us to this life of wisdom in all seasons, ages, and stages.
We are pilgrims being prepared for home. We are not home yet. Life was never meant to be about ourselves, but about God. For this reason, it is the eternal that gives meaning and hope in the temporal arena.
