The visible world strides brutally and heartlessly and violently past all of this. But out of grace and mercy and great kindness, God gathers our burning, blazing life; he glorifies it for the sake of Jesus Christ; he builds it up new and good in that hidden world where the line of death that separates us from God has been taken away. Our true life is hidden—but it is grounded firmly in eternity. “When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in his glory.” Amen.
