We Wait. 1 Corinthians 13:8-12

Oh how I've missed the blog. The Memorial Day weekend has seperated us now for four days, but no more. The daily study has returned.

Returning happens to be a pretty major theme in our lives. As followers of Christ we wait in eager anticipation for our savior to come and fully redeem us from this fallen world. We see in part now, and know in part now, but there will be a day when we know completely. I long for that day.

As I write this post, I'm reminded of a song that echoes this desire for our home and for the kingdom of God to come. It's by Charlie Hall and called "Rising Shout", look it up if you have a chance.

1 Corithians 13:8-12
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Questions
1. What do you look forward to the most about heaven?
2. What will you most enjoy not experiencing any more about this world?
3. What will stick with you from this passage?
