Scripture: John 14:1-4, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 1 Corinthians 15:12-20, Revelation 21:1-7
“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”
Colossians 3:1-4
“Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly. For all that can be shaken will be shaken and only the unshakable will remain.”
CS Lewis, The Great Divorce
“God does not make junk, and God does not junk what he made.”
Al Wolters, Creation Regained
“Heaven means sharing in the blessedness of God so that in the very depths of our being there is divine contentment, joy, and fulfillment. There is total shalom: a sense of sheer well-being. Every need is met. Every longing is fulfilled. Every goal is achieved. Every sense is satisfied. We see him. We are with him. He holds us and hugs us and whispers, ‘This is forever.’”
Donald Macleod
“Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”
