Our destiny in Christ is upwards. Our hero has come to claim us for his homeland. He has staked his eternal existence on us, joining himself forever to our human flesh. He has sent his Spirit as a pledge in our hearts that he is preparing a place for us. Our destiny is not man degraded but man restored. Our future is not the gloomy cynicism or the resigned sensuality of nearly every movie made these days and nearly every song sung. Our destiny is goodness, truth and beauty. Behold the man. What Jesus is, we shall be.
