Bursting

"The Father has qualified you," Colossians 1:12.

God qualified. The Olympic games show the best of the best. You have to qualify to even participate. You qualify by a lifetime of hard work and effort finally paying off in the games. But how do you qualify for heaven? For eternal life? How do you qualify to have a share in the inheritance? In the inheritance with stunningly good people? A share in the essence of light shining from the face of God? Here: Jesus, training as our human representative, ran the race, crossed the finish line heart bursting, won the gold. And God said: Perfect -- humans qualify!

We visit with a brother or sister today God-qualified in Jesus's labors. And together we live out thanksgivings to God by walking the path Jesus ran for us.
