Jesus said that a time is coming when we will long to see him, on this earth, in his glory. While theologians have debated over how best to interpret this passage, and how it relates to both Christ’s crucifixion and what will happen when Christ comes again, one thing is clear – right here, right now, we long to see Jesus.

We long for the comfort and security of having him on this broken earth in human form, with a face we can look into and a voice we can clearly hear.
