       Like Indiana Jones did in the third installment of the movie franchise, we are going to have to step forward and out over the cliff, the canyon, even when we cannot see the bridge, when it is invisible. Will you today make the choice to live like this? Or, are you going to play it safe, do it your own safe, comfortable way, within your own ability, and not through God’s grace? Reading verse 2 again: “Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (ESV). So, we are to rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Obviously, this is not a one time thing for us, but it is a continual thing that we do over and over. It is an outward look, an eager anticipation, of what we will ultimately be. It is, “seek[ing] the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.”
