I’ve been thinking a lot about glory recently. I can’t really pin down what exactly started it. Politicians seeking it, athletes chasing it, people wanting it, and at the same time it feels like nobody it getting any and everyone is getting some. Whether or not these people deserve it is another argument altogether, and one I know I am wholly unequipped and unqualified to do to.
The idea has been bouncing around in my head for a little while. And when I was gifted C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce for Christmas, I didn’t really expect to touch much on the topic. I mean, how much can the topic of glory find its way into a tale that is telling the great separation of Heaven and Hell?
It turns out, it’s surprisingly prevalent.
