Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. A phrase built on an oxymoron but perfectly describes the spiritual home of so many. As Jesus teaches about the nature of the Kingdom of God in the Sermon on the Plain, what becomes painfully clear to even the most devout follower is this: Everybody wants the kingdom of God, but nobody really wants to live in it. Why? Because the values of the kingdom are painfully different than the values of our earthly kingdoms.
