A Glimpse of Heaven at Following Christ 08
Posted by tom | Jan 4, 2009What a joy to read my faculty friend Miller's description of N.T. Wright's plenary expositions at Following Christ 08. Note: He also had a good word share regarding his personal conversations in the Natural Science and Mathematics Track. To God be the glory as His Spirit alone prepares the hearts of His people to graciously receive and apply the Word God!
NT Wright does read from his script...but the content is quite good, and people listen well...and he had a great audience there...they smiled, and laughed at every subtle nuance that i missed...who wouldn't love to teach to have students like that...just reading part of john 17 where Jesus says, "I want them to be with me" ...and i was thinking how much at home I felt with those at this conference...how much they reflect the glory of God by their humble attitude, alert minds, humor, and desire to honor Christ in their careers...and when Christ returns, they will be even more like Him...i began thinking, what will it be like to be with people like this for all eternity...i sensed their love for each other...no feeling of competition as the Holy Spirit seemed so present (there had been prayer for three years in preparation for this conference)...there was a light hearted joy pervading the place...
