“In the eyes of God, all men are living.” (Luke 21:38)

Jesus had also once said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”  Therefore when we live in Christ Jesus, we live in everlasting life.   Even though Jesus said “ In the eyes of God, all men are living”, this ‘living’ does not necessarily represent living in God, but rather, it could mean living in eternal agony.

If we do not live in love, then after we die, we will not partake in the life of love.  “God is Love!”  Those who do not live in love, naturally will not live in God.  In our everyday lives, wealth and family are both important.  However, they cannot replace the role of God in our lives.  In last week’s Gospel, there was a very good example about Zacchaeus.    Having hoarded and collected riches all his life; he was actually willing to give up the majority of his wealth to the poor.  He no longer sees wealth as the most important thing in his life.

If we are fortunate enough to be living in God’s kingdom in the future, every single person would be like family - a brother or a sister to us.  Procreation will no longer be a concern in the Kingdom of God.
