Heaven
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter” (Revelation 4:1).
When I was a boy growing up and going to school in Canada my geography teachers taught us all about Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Although I had never been there, I believed that what I was taught from the text books and photos of beautiful scenery was true. Later in life when I visited those places I found that what was written and reported about them was not only true but that in actuality they were far more beautiful than I had imagined or envisioned.
We only have glimpses of heaven in the Bible but when we get there it will be far more wonderful than we can ever imagine it to be! But best of all we will be with the Lord Jesus. He has promised, “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:3). This is the Christian’s sure and glorious prospect!
