When I think about Heaven, a chorus to a famous hymn always comes to my mind. What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see, when I look upon His face, the one who saved me by His grace, when He takes me by the hand and leads me to the Promised Land, What a day, glorious day that will be! Heaven will be Heaven because Jesus will be there. That is such an incredible thought. Perhaps nothing describes Heaven better than Revelation 21:3-4:And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Heaven will be Heaven because God will be there and He will dwell in complete unity and perfect harmony with mankind. I will see God face to face! That fact alone makes me want to have a spell! On this earth today we experience heartaches, we experience sorrow, we experiences pain, we experience sickness and ultimately if the Lord tarries His return we will face death. The fact is for believers who know Christ this life is the worst life now. This is the worst that believers will have it while on earth. On the other hand, for lost people, this is the best life now, because the next life will be an eternity of pain unlike anyone can ever imagine. For believers, the next life will be wonderful. God shall wipe away every tear from our eyes. Every hurt, every person who has stabbed you in your back that you thought was your friend, all of those tears shed will be wiped away. My friend, be encouraged that every battle and every trial that you are going through will be well worth it when we see the Lord. There will be no more death and no more pain! Heaven: What a day that will be!
