"...just imagine how liberating it is for Christians to know that Christ promised to be with them to the end."

That's a given but it's so much bigger than that.

Wow. What a barren and ungrateful perspective. Look at what you've just said. "Bigger" than Jesus Christ being with us now and every day of our lives until the end of time???

What in creation could possibly be "bigger" than that?!?

I'm not surprised most of the RC's run off to their caucus threads when I see comments about things being bigger than Jesus Christ being with us forever.

If I stood at the bedside of a newborn's mom and said "this little one will be with you until one of you leaves this earth",would it mean anything?

Or,if I told the little one "your mommy will be with you until one of you leaves this earth",would it mean anything?

Even if I concluded my happy talk with the statement that "all you need to do is believe", do you really think it's enough? And then when you extend that to include the supernatural world it gets too big to even imagine.

And that is why I am so grateful that Christ established a Church to protect the deposit of faith of our Triune God.
