Jesus' desire for his followers is that they live in such a way that they
bring heaven to earth.

What's disturbing then is when people talk more about hell after this life
than they do about hell here and now. As a Christian, I want to do what I
can to resist hell coming to earth. Poverty, injustice, suffering-- they
are all hells on earth, and as Christians we oppose them with all our
energies. Jesus told us to.
