Heaven

Jesus said “Many are called but few are chosen.” I wonder if this implies a lot more than most people presume. It might not imply simply that people are called to enter God’s heavenly kingdom where only the righteous are chosen (the rest presumably going into perdition). Perhaps it means that many are called to share in the saving ministry of Jesus, to become wedded to him, so to speak, and spend their energies doing only what Jesus would do if he were in their flesh.

This position would then involve not merely escaping eternal damnation, but something special: a very close union with Jesus becoming instruments Jesus uses to accomplish what he wants to accomplish.

This would be quite a challenge for me.
