Happy Tuesday,
Heaven
“I looked, and, behold, ... the Lamb." Why, that Lamb is heaven itself; for as good Rutherford says, "Heaven and Christ are the same thing." To be with Christ is to be in heaven, and to be in heaven is to be with Christ.”
An unusual concept, but would Heaven be the same without Christ? I do not think so. We long to spend eternity with Jesus the Holy One who paid for our redemption with His blood.
Heaven without Jesus would be having a Birthday party without the person having the Birthday. It would seem unnatural, just as Heaven would be without Jesus.
Just as I long to see my son in Heaven my heart yearns to see Jesus face to face. To thank Him for saving my soul. What a wondrous day it will be to see Jesus face-to-face! To kiss his hands and feet. It is true we long to leave this evil world and our broken bodies behind but we also long to be in the presence of our Lord and Savior.
Maranatha,
Betty
