Dan "the man" Luebcke preached this week, and not just to his kids like he does at home, he preached in big people church. First, I have to say he did a great job, and I'm not just saying that because he bought me lunch last week, he really did kick it.
He said a lot of good things but one that really stuck out was an insight he had about how blessed we are to live as Christians at this time in world history. He was talking about how we might have the opportunity to sit next to Elijah in heaven and how tight that would be. And then he said the following (muy loose paraphrase):
"But did you ever think that as excited as we'd be to hang out with Elijah, he'll be even more excited to hang out with us? Because we have communication from God written down. We have the Word of God. He'll say, 'what was it like to have the Bible everyday? Did you just want to read it all the time? What was it like to know the Messiah had come? What was it like to know that God had acted in this amazing way on your behalf?'"
Kind of puts it in perspective for me. We are so blessed to know the crucified and risen Lord and to have the Scriptures to teach and direct us. I most certainly take that for granted too often.
By the way, the only thing I'd mark Dan down for was that his shirt was untucked. I was so distracted I'm surprised I heard what I just wrote!

Also, Elijah will be really excited to meet ME, because I'm so freakin sweet. I can't believe how happy everyone will be to meet me. Did you ever think about how it's good that there's forever because there's going to be so dang many people. How will you meet them all? I'll probably be everybody's fave.
