"For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."
1 Corinthians 13:9-10
I like the idea here that someday all the incompleteness and the emptiness will be gone and we will feel, and be, complete and whole. No more random parts and trying to figure out how everything fits together.
I mean, I think that Christ will bring completeness in many ways... our personal perfection might take longer, but even if it takes us a big chunk of eternity, the idea is the same--there is hope before us that we will get there. And that hope is what the atonement, and our whole time on earth, is about. God has that wholeness that we long for, and we can look to him for all the parts that we lack.
