“To live is Christ” means that what is awaiting us is a glorious inheritance of all things. All that is Christ’s he will share with us. But even more glorious than the WHAT is the WHO. God our savior will finally receive his inheritance – you. Me. Us. We are the reward he has spent all of eternity waiting for. The people he has given everything for. The criminals he set free and then adopted and made his own children for all of eternity. What glorious grace.
