One of the best things about writing a gospel reflection is the gospel--The word of God--molds the reflection. Many times I think I already know what I’m going to write down, I begin to read and it changes completely.

The Word has been written by a Divine Genius, it seems there is no end of Wisdom in it.

When i was many years younger,romantic love was much more idealised then as compared to the very modern day times,and that between and a woman,boy/girl.Ofcourse,Paul told us as followers of Christ,to "flee youthful lusts",and in 1 Corinthians 7:9,Paul wrote;"It is better to marry than to burn",(with passion,or in hell fire,take your pick)When we do marry,it is a spiritual as well as a physical bond,being obediant to it will cause your grwat eternal reward!

There are a lot of empty promises that our world gives us when it thinks of romantic love. The “happily ever after” seems to be an assumption- taking a human good, and making it seem as if it is sufficient for what we long for, as you say.

Notice that the passage in Luke 20:34-36 is not specific as to the location of the resurrected saints.

It merely says that they will be alive in the coming age.

True. What are you getting at here. I’m curious

There is more than one opinion as to what happens to the resurrected saints. One of them is that they will return to earth to rule and reign with Christ on this present earth when He returns; and that the end of the world does not occur immediately after His return (cf. Revelation 2:26-29 and 19:11 thru 20:10).
