Just a glimpse for now

Thursday July 28th, John 11: 23Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Martha had hope, Jesus brought something more. Life in the resurrection is not something that is put off until then, is something that begins now. Living the resurrection is what we are called to do, and at our best, we get a glimpse of what living it will be like then. The birth of a child or grandchild, a couples “I do”, a beautiful sun set, music that just carries you away, they are all glimpses of what will be. God is behind them all. Knowing those two things puts us in the middle of them and the resurrection now.
