Sometimes I'm worried about getting to heaven.
I know I shouldn't be!
Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. We need to trust in God; trust also in Me. In My Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am" (John 14:1-3 NIV).
I'm so there! "I, John, saw the Holy city, new Jerusalem" (Rev 21:2).
I've read that it's an exact square of 2,250 kilometres (Rev 21:16). It stretches from the Carolinas to California, and from Canada to Mexico. It's 40 times the size of England, 10 times the size of France, and larger than India. And that's just the ground floor; it's as tall as it is wide; 600,000 stories, more than enough space for billions of people to come and go. And come and go they will. The gates never close. Why shut them? The enemies of God will be banished, leaving only a perfect place of perfected people.
The Best thing will being with Christ, the One I love most! Paul, who had the privilege of visiting Heaven, wrote, "I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far" (Philp 1:23 NIV). So I don't plan on getting too comfortable here on earth!
In His Hands
