I had a conversation once with someone about wanting Mashiach to arrive. He was telling me how so many people don’t really want Mashiach because their lives are pretty good, and they don’t want it to change for an unknown. My response was, “Imagine the happiest day of your life. Your wedding, birth of children, whatever it is. Try and remember the feeling you had then, that amazing feeling of pure joy. Would you like to experience that feeling again?
When Mashiach comes, the feeling of joy we’ll experience will be even better than that. We’ll experience a joy like we’ve never known before. And it won’t be for just a short time. We’ll have a Beis Hamikdash, we’ll have the shechinah present there… it will be everlasting. Even if you have the most incredible life right now, wouldn’t you want that?”
