There was once a rush to come to the U.S. and then once here there were rushes to various places in hopes of getting rich. People want more in life than just looking forward to death after a mundane life. Let's examine our "rush" for eternity in God's Kingdom. We are all trying to go to an eternally wonderful place with eternal life. Who is it for and how do we get there? What is the purpose and future for us?
