Eternal life
"And this is eternal life, to know the Father and his only Son Jesus Christ."
In the 2000 years since Jesus walked the earth the details around
eternal life seem to have grown. Truth be told, the imaginations of
artists, writers, poets, and theologians have created a bit of a mess
for those of us in the trenches of everyday ministry. The question
asked of Jesus about the woman married to seven brothers seems tame
compared to the many ways in which our modern conceptions of heaven and
hell have become convoluted.
How old will I be?
Will that kid who picked on me in middle school be there?
Does Alabama always win in heaven?
Does Alabama always lose in heaven?
Will I have my hair back?
Will I catch the big one?
Will my ex still bother me there?
