GREATER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE

But just as it is written,Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,

And which have not entered the heart of man,All that God has prepared for those who love Him.

1 Corinthians 2:9

The first time I visited Washington DC I hitchhiked 87 miles there with another summer camp counselor. When we were dropped off and turned around, there, larger than life was the capitol building! So that’s where we started our exploration on an amazing day of visiting things we had only seen in pictures and TV news reports. The grandeur was way beyond the images. That was the first of my six visits (so far) to Washington, each one a thrill as you get to visit, see, and touch the real deal.

So what is it going to be like to see heaven? The Bible leaves a lot to our imaginations, but one thing we know: it is going to be amazing—way beyond what we are imagining! Why would anyone NOT want to go there? Yet many who want to don’t know how to get there. Such was the case with my mother. She was raised in church, and as a teenager heard a sermon on heaven and how wonderful it was going to be. She desperately wanted to go there, but the minister did not, likely could not, tell her how. Nor did any minster after that. It was not until after my father got saved when I was 12 that my mother, through him, found out, and she got saved. 

Do you think heaven is going to be amazing? Do you know how to get there? Will you share how with someone you know who wants to go?
