As Christians this is our position in Christ. What an amazing thing to take in, that we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Jesus puts us on a level footing with Himself before God. An heir receives everything the Father has. In Jesus we are made equal with Jesus. Not only are these riches for later on but they are ours now. No matter what our status in this life, whether we are poor or rich, in Jesus we are the heirs to all God has. In Jesus He gives us Himself. So do not worry about your status here;in the eternal realm you are the son of a king. Not just any king, but the King of kings.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
