juonec4dmodels.poster@blogger.com, When I was a little boy, we took a family vacation to Disneyland in Southern California. As we were driving, my dad tried to explain what Disneyland would be like. But once we got there, I realized you can’t really understand Disneyland until you experience it for yourself. Some experiences are simply unexplainable. The same is true about Heaven. Human words can’t properly explain the divine mysteries of Heaven – but God’s Word does give a little insight about what it will be like. We’ll be reunited with every other believer in Heaven (Hebrews 12:22-23). We’ll be rewarded for our good actions here on earth – your generosity, your good character, and your service. That doesn’t mean we’re saved by our good actions. Only God’s grace through the sacrifice of Jesus can carry us into Heaven (Luke 6:35). We’ll have responsibilities. We’ll use our God-given gifts and talents to do what we love to do (Luke 16:10-12). We’ll find rest in Heaven like we never imagined. Yes, we’ll work. But our work in Heaven will be a restful joy, not a burden (Hebrews 4:9-11). We’ll rejoice in Heaven. We’ll enjoy being with God in Heaven. We’ll enjoy being with one another in Heaven (Matthew 25:21). No doubt, we all want our family and friends to be there in Heaven with us. So as you celebrate Easter this year, I ask you to consider this question . . . Who will you pray for, believing in faith that God will open their heart to Jesus and the Gospel message? Pastor Rick |
