When our spirits waver on this earthly pilgrimage, and when we look at death with dread, our Lord says to us as he said to those spirits in prison, “Rise up now! The Banquet is ready. The kingdom of God has
been prepared for you for all eternity.
Sometimes it is hard for us to simply receive. Our world tells us that all interactions are transactional. You do for me so that I will do for you. This is not the Way of Christ.
