'Our future is not that we will live in an ethereal, immaterial world. You're not going to float around in the kingdom of God. You're going to eat; you're going to love. You're going to sing because you'll have vocal chords! In realms and degrees of joy, satisfaction, and power that you cannot now imagine, you're going to eat and drink with Son of Man. On that day we are going to see each other and say, "I always knew you could be like this. I saw glimpses of it, flashes of it, and now, look at you!" You're going to to get the life you always wanted.'
Timothy Keller, 'Rubbing Hope into the Reality of Death' in Nancy Guthrie (Ed.), O Love That Will Not Let Me Go, p.91.
