Once we claim faith and say yes to Jesus, we believe we shouldn’t have to endure hardship anymore. But that is never the promise. The promise is presence, and the promise is access. There is still going to be a whole lot of shaking going on! It isn’t difficult to look around us and see that the world we experience isn’t the world that is described as kingdom or kin-dom, either one! There is still work to be done, things that need to be shaken out and shaken up until we begin to resemble that inheritance the prophets describe, the eternity that Jesus presents.
