“As we walk through this broken, troubled world sharing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, let’s be sure that we share our hope in God’s promise of a new heaven and new earth, a perfect world. When we get there, we will say, I’ve come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I’ve been looking for all my life, though I never knew it! And it will by no means be the end of our story. In fact, as C. S. Lewis put it, all the adventures we have ever had will end up being, only “the cover and the title page”. Finally we will begin “Chapter One of the Great Story, which no-one on earth has read; which goes on forever; in which every chapter is better than the one before”.
