“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”- Augustine
Since our first exile from the Garden of Eden, we have been looking for home. All of humanity works from this fundamental base desire. Everyone may try different roads to get back home, but apart from Christ we are doomed to be a people that are always traveling, but never make it home. Which is what makes the final chapters of the Bible such a relief and our grand hope, because there we finally make it home. The garden destroyed in Genesis becomes the garden restored in Revelation. The end of the story is the promise that, through Jesus, we can finally make it home.
