The Glory of HeavenSample
Let’s talk a little bit about heaven. The first thing I want you to know about heaven is that it is a promised place. Before He spoke about heaven in John 14, Jesus said, “Believe in God, believe also in me.” We can trust His promise, because Jesus is not a liar, and God is not a liar. We can take their promises to the bank.
To make that promise real, Jesus is going to give us a new heavenly body. He’s going to recraft your body—remake it so it will fit in the new environment of heaven (2 Corinthians 5:1). Your present body cannot live forever. The body you have now is never free from the possibility of pain and decay. You don’t have a body that is able to take in all the data that will be given to you in heaven. Jesus will break through every limitation and give you a brand-new body—one without pain and deterioration, without the earthy restraints you experience now.
You’ve got a reservation and a confirmation number for eternity. And it is based on His promise. He’s got a place for you and your new heavenly form.
What bodily limitations are you experiencing that you’d like to leave behind?
