What's your goal? What's your dream? It's easy to think of riches or power or fame or peace.
Here is Jesus, telling the crowds that John the Baptist is greater than anyone else... and yet the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than John. Jesus is urging us to think of eternity, to think of heaven, and to make that our goal. We should dream of being citizens of the Kingdom of God, for there is no person in this world that can be so great that can even eclipse the least in the Kingdom of God -- it's that much better. We're that much better.
So dream of heaven, friends. Read the end of Revelation, which describes a city where the light never fades and the gates do not shut and the tree of life blooms for the healing of all the nations. Think on that, and then make choices in this life that align with drawing closer to God's Kingdom.
