Heaven Is Our Home
PHILIPPIANS 3:20 LB
20 But our homeland is in heaven, where our Savior, the Lord
Jesus Christ, is; and we are looking forward to his return from
there.
Heaven is a real place. In fact, Heaven is ultimate reality.
There are real people there, involved in real activities. But
most importantly, our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ and our
Father God are there.
Sometimes people talk of someone who has departed this life as "having gone
to their reward."
Heaven is not a reward.
There will be rewards given out by God, but going to Heaven is
not a reward. Heaven is a return to normal.
That's right. Heaven is the way life was supposed to be. Heaven is normal.
What we have been experiencing on this sin-infested planet is sub-normal.
But part of the Good News is that Jesus will not leave this
place, or us, sub-normal forever. One day, maybe soon, Jesus
will return from Heaven and change things on Earth back to what God intended
when He created this place.
Everything on Earth, as originally created, was a reflection of
the home planet, Heaven. All the beauty and everything good
that we enjoy on Earth is but a dim reflection of what Heaven
offers.
What makes Heaven our home? Home is where your family is. Home is where you
are comfortable. Home is where you have a place to live. Home is where you
belong. For the believer in Jesus Christ, Heaven fits all those descriptions.
SAY THIS: Heaven is my home.
