A journey or a destination?

Jesus invited the disciples to, "Come, follow me." He never really said where, just spoke vaguely about the Kingdom of Heaven. God told Abraham to leave Ur and "Go," but, again, refused to say where exactly. Moses followed a cloud by day and pillar of fire by night, but after 400 years of Egyptian slavery, no one knew for sure how to actually get to the "Promised Land." What do these and dozens of other Scriptural anecdotes tell us about "salvation"? It's a journey, not a destination. A New Kind of Christian masterfully captures the nature of the trek. (I know. I know, I keep promising more ... maybe this week.)
