This focus is especially predominant in John, which is why I suppose John seems to be the least favorite Gospel of the emerging church movement (so far as I have read at least).

C. S. Lewis hit the nail square on the head when he pointed out that those who have done the greatest good in this life have been just those people who have been most focused on the next.
