Wendy’s reply reminded me of what we always asked our kids when they come back from spending time with people. We’d ask if they had a good time and then we’d ask “more importantly how did “so and so” enjoy you?”… that was what was the most important question. It wasn’t about the kids. I loved that, Wendy!

Hi Pastor John,
One piece of the first class that stood out to me today that you said from the Old Testament audio*, “We weren’t made for our pleasure, we were made for God’s pleasure. It’s not about us enjoying God, but is God enjoying YOU?!”
He made us because he wanted us, out of all the other things he could have created, he created US. He doesn’t want to be alone in Heaven in the end, he wanted us to be there! With him now through the new covenant from Jesus’ accepted sacrifice…AND forever.
You want to find more adjectives to describe the magnificence of it!

Hi Wendy!
I am so glad you caught that. It is a good reminder of our purpose, and our responsibility to God and to one another.
