It can be a great wonder how God brings about the simple things of life to meet in a very grand way. In previous posts I was greatful to point out some of the briliant aspects of Heaven in response to a triffle found on the side of a cup of tea that I had recieved from an establishment. The next post was like it in that it referred to the holiness that awaits those who believe and will ultimately dwell in the presence of the Most Holy.
However the point of all these words are lost on the general masses, for the simple fact that one only gets excited about Heaven through the faith that God provides to those purchased by the precious blood of Christ. Although this is a point elluded to in both previous posts, it was again brought to mind by the sermon delivered to the people of Hope Community Bible Church this past Sunday (05/06/07). In it we were reminded that the things hoped for by the people of God are simply daft to the world and the promise of Heaven is among the chief assurances of the Redeemed.
There does remain a drawback for the Believer in all of this mucking about with the subject of faith. That drawback is that we are not home yet and until we reach that eternal rest we must continue to live moment by moment according to the reality of that which is unseen, that which is untouched, that which is unfathomable to the human mind. This is how we know the the Spirit is indeed living within us. Ask a Christian about the bliss of Heaven and you will have an insight to his/her knowledge of its King.
The challenge then is to have lofty minds, minds that are so far in the clouds that we long to bring others there just that we may rightly see them and show them the glories of golden streets and gates of a pearl.
I have fallen short this very day and every day before. What do you know of Heaven? What do you know of Hell?
May we grow in our knowledge of the Holy!!
