Heaven

One morning during the Civil War, bands of North and South armies were camped on opposite sides of the Rappahonnack River. Each played their national song and cheered. After a little time, one band started playing "Home Sweet Home", and the other band picked up the tune. At the end, both sides joined each other cheering with tears. They had a common bond -- wanting to be at home.

No matter what our national allegiance is, all the Redeemed call Heaven home.

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Tears, death, sorrow, crying, pain, crime, hate, and jealousy will be missing from our Heavenly Home. The glory of God will replace light from the sun and the moon.

The beauty and wonder of Heaven is beyond our imagination. Can we grasp streets of pure gold clear as crystal, walls of jasper and gates of pearl?
