Our True Home!
"To an inheritance incorruptible and
undefiled and that does not fade away,
reserved in heaven for you."
1 Peter 1: 4
In her book about heaven, Anne Graham Lotz talked about the time
she bought a ticket for a tour of Buckingham Palace in London. She
passed through spectacular rooms after another, gazing at the
hand-
painted ceilings, magnificent paintings, gilded furniture, and crystal
chandeliers.
But nowhere did she see a child’s toy, open magazine,
a coffee cup sitting on a side table, or a table set for two.
“Buckingham Palace is a magnificent showplace,” she
said,
“but it’s hard to think of it as a home.”
The glittering scenes of heaven will far exceed anything in
Buckingham Palace, yet it will be our home. It will feel like
home, it will look like home, and it will be home.
Our resurrected and glorified bodies will be perfectly equipped
to enjoy all the features of the new heaven and new earth. Our
friends and loved ones in Christ will meet us in New
Jerusalem.
Our tears will be gone, and our years will have no end.
How exciting to know the joy that awaits us in heaven.
We should look forward to the eternal home Jesus is
preparing for us.
"Knowing where you are going takes
the uncertainty out of getting there."
Anne Graham Lotz
