This is Max Locato.

God's storyline concludes with you, me, all his children living, ruling, dining, and serving with him in a perfect world.

In the Bible's final book, these words are said to Jesus, you were

slain and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.

And you have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God and they will reign on the earth.

That's you, my friend.

The final stop in your heavenly itinerary

involves not just Eden, but a position of authority in God's garden.

Pause and let that promise sink in.

You will reign with Christ.

God's purpose and plan for you may begin in this life, but it won't be fully realized

until the life to come.
