But... I must admit I don't understand the scripture that states that if we had hope in this life only we would, of all men, be most miserable.

As the old PCD? song said... this is the life... it's where I want to be.

If there were no heaven ahead... this is STILL the best life.

My daughters take on it was this... maybe it is talking about this life... as in living our lives looking after the cares of this world.

Good thought. I don't know.

But... as good as living God's way is... that scripture has always puzzled me.

That is exactly what it is talking about. We have to know that we have hope. It goes right along with Hebrews 13:13-15, IMO.

(13) Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

(14) For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

That's why we can:

(15) By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
