Stel je voor dat je deel uitmaakt van een NASA-team dat zich voorbereidt op een vijfjarige missie naar Mars. Na een tijd van uitgebreide training is de lanceringsdatum eindelijk aangebroken. Terwijl de raket opstijgt, vraagt een van je collega-astronauten: “Wat weet jij over Mars?”

Představte si, že jste v týmu NASA a připravujete se na pětiletou misi na Marsu. Po období intenzivního tréninku konečně přijde den odletu. Když se raketa odlepí od země, zeptá se vás váš kolega kosmonaut: „Co víš o Marsu?“

One day in Heaven, we will see Christ in His glory. The most exhilarating experiences on Earth, such as white-water rafting, skydiving, or extreme sports, will seem tame compared to the thrill of seeing Jesus.

C. S. Lewis wrote to an American friend, “How little people know who think that holiness is dull. When one meets the real thing . . . it is irresistible. If even 10% of the world’s population had it, would not the whole world be converted and happy before a year’s end?”

Why doesn’t God simply reward each good and punish each evil as it happens? Because God’s justice is not a vending machine in which a coin of righteousness immediately produces reward or a coin of evil yields swift retribution. Scripture assures us justice is coming. Everything in God’s plan has a proper time.

It’s exhilarating, even worshipful, to be immersed in a God-made world normally beyond our reach. Years ago, while snorkeling in deep water with one of my daughters and some friends, we suddenly heard the melodic sounds of whales. We floated nearly motionless as the sounds grew louder and louder.

According to David, the greatest thing we can ask of God is to gaze upon His beauty: “One thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Yahweh and to inquire in His temple” (Psalm 27:4, LSB).
