       One of the benefits to our salvation is that we believe that throughout our lives, our new lives in Christ, we can have the hope of our glory in being with Christ after this life. We can always be looking forward to that. I know I catch myself thinking about from time to time. It’s especially easier, and more appealing it seems, to think about it when times are rough, in the times things aren’t going the way we want them to. We discern that really, in reality, in the grand scheme of things, this world doesn’t ultimately matter. What matters is that we have a personal relationship with God, that will are seeking to please him, that we are following Jesus. The troubles of this world will come to pass. Now, this has never happened for us. That is, we have never received a new body before. We have never been physically with Jesus before. Nonetheless, we have the hope we will be. Even though there is nothing in the past that can assure for us these things, that is, since they haven’t happened before, we still hope and count on them to happen.
