Glimpse Of Glory #RTTBROS #Nightlight Glimpses of Glory: Preparing for Our Heavenly Home "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." - Revelation 21:4 (KJV) In our daily lives, we often find ourselves caught up in the hustle and bustle of this world. We chase after earthly treasures, seek fleeting pleasures, and sometimes lose sight of our ultimate destination - our heavenly home. Yet, as believers, we are called to live with an eternal perspective, eagerly anticipating the day when we will dwell in the presence of our Lord forever. The book of Revelation provides us with breathtaking glimpses of what awaits us in heaven. John describes a place of unimaginable beauty, where streets are paved with gold and a crystal-clear river flows from the throne of God. It's a realm where the curse of sin is lifted, and we will experience perfect communion with our Creator. One of the most striking features of heaven is the absence of a temple. Unlike in the Old Testament, where God's presence was confined to a specific location, in heaven, His glory permeates every corner. We will have unrestricted access to Him, basking in His radiance and experiencing the fullness of joy that comes from being in His presence. The tree of life, once forbidden in the Garden of Eden, will stand in the midst of the heavenly city, bearing fruit every month and offering leaves for the healing of the nations. This imagery reminds us of God's restoration and the reversal of the curse that has plagued humanity since the fall. In heaven, we will see God face to face - a privilege that even Moses was not fully granted on earth. This beatific vision will be the source of our ultimate happiness and holiness. No longer will we struggle with doubts or questions; we will know Him fully, just as we are fully known. Our heavenly existence won't be characterized by idleness. Scripture suggests that we will reign with Christ, though the exact nature of this responsibility remains a mystery. What we do know is that our service to Him will be free from the burdens and limitations we experience in our earthly bodies. As we contemplate these promises, we must remember that Christ's return is imminent. He tells us repeatedly, "Behold, I come quickly." This should instill in us a sense of urgency and readiness. Like the men waiting for Shackleton's return, we should live each day as if it could be the day of Christ's appearing. This hope of heaven should transform the way we live now. Our belief in God's promises should be evident in our behavior. If we truly love our neighbors, we will be compelled to share the good news of salvation with them, wanting them to experience the joys of eternity as well. Living with an eternal perspective doesn't mean we become so heavenly-minded that we're no earthly good. On the contrary, it should motivate us to make a lasting impact in this world. When we begin with the end in mind, every decision we make is influenced by the knowledge that we will one day stand before our Creator. As we go about our daily lives, let us hold fast to the promise of our heavenly home. May we live in faithful obedience, eagerly anticipating the day when we will hear our Savior say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Until then, let us strive to be a prepared people for that prepared place, allowing the hope of heaven to shine through us as a testament to God's glory. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros
