       And Paul also points out the fact that this is also a church waiting on the return of Jesus. Yes, that’s an important part of the Christian life. When it comes down to it, we must realize that this life is temporary, and it is preparing us for the next. Paul said elsewhere, in a letter to another church: “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:1-4, ESV). All of us should be waiting for Christ’s return, the Rapture, since we really belong with him. And again, Paul would say also, “We ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved” (Romans 8:23-24, ESV).
