“Jesus, unlike the founder of any other major faith, holds out hope for ordinary
human life. Our future is not an ethereal, impersonal form of consciousness. We 
will not float through the air, but rather will eat, embrace, sing, laugh, and dance
in the kingdom of God, in degrees of power, glory, and joy that we can’t at present
imagine.

Jesus will make the world our perfect home again. We will no longer be living ‘east
of Eden,’ always wandering and never arriving. We will come, and the father will
meet us and embrace us, and we will be bought into the feast.”

–Timothy Keller, _The Prodigal God_ (New York, NY: Dutton, 2008), 104.
