On earth, lots of wills are done. Yours, mine, and many…
““On earth, lots of wills are done. Yours, mine, and many others. And so, at present, heaven and earth are not one. What Jesus taught, what the prophets taught, what all of Jewish tradition pointed to and what Jesus lived in anticipation of, was the day when earth and heaven would be one. The day when God’s will would be done on earth as it is now done in heaven. The day when earth and heaven will be the same place. This is the story of the Bible. This is the story Jesus lived and told. As it’s written at the end of the Bible in Revelation 21: “God’s dwelling place is now among the people.” Life in the age to come.””
