Quote from Randy Alcorn:
“When it comes to our eternal home, we often fail to think biblically in two ways. First, we imagine we won’t be fully human and our ultimate home won’t be physical and earthly. Second, we imagine that this world as it now is, under the Curse, is our ultimate home. C.S. Lewis wrote, “Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.” If Heaven is truly our home, we should expect it to have the qualities we associate with home. Home as a term for Heaven isn’t simply a metaphor. It describes an actual, physical place- a place promised and built by our bridegroom; a place we’ll share with loved ones; a place of fond familiarity and comfort and refuge; a place of marvelous smells and tastes, fine food, and great conversation; a place of contemplation and interaction and expressing the gifts and passions that God has given us. It’ll be a place of unprecedented freedom and adventure.”
