Heaven is not a puzzle to be worked out, a problem to be solved or a prize to be won; heaven is a person to know--"Christ in you, the hope of glory." All the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him.  Christ Himself is the secret that has now been revealed tp a;; nations.  He is the person of our hope. But more than just knowing about Christ, it is "Christ in you" that is the glorious riches of His gift of eternal life to us.  Furthermore, Christ is the perfection of our hope.  "We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ." Perfection does not come without some degree of suffering.  The Apostle declared, "Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church."
