For me, this song speaks of no hope. Were I to imagine there was no heaven, then what would my life be like today? Full of depressed, discouraged, joyless days. I am grateful this world is not my home, and that there is more to this story. I thank God, for the blood of Jesus that cleansed me, and makes me whole. I thank God for His Great Faithfulness. The only way we can live in the way John Lennon described is in the new Kingdom, and I look forward to the day when His Kingdom will come. Until then I will continue to enjoy eternal life right here on earth by seeking His face, His will, His word, His way each and everyday. We must learn to embrace the Godhead (Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost) because they are real. Let the wash over you, rest in them and you will see just how life becomes worth living. For to live is Christ, and to die gain. Amen.
