It has been said the light of heaven is
the Face of Jesus Christ: the joy of heaven is the presence of Jesus Christ: the
melody of heaven: the harmony of heaven is the praise of Jesus Christ: the theme
of heaven is the work of Jesus Christ: the employment of heaven is the service
of Jesus Christ: and the fulness of heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Heaven is the centre of the
Christian’s universe and he is bound to it by eight golden links
Our
Father is there (Matthew 6:9)
After this manner
therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be
thy name.
Our
Saviour is there (Hebrews
9:24)
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the
figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of
God for us
Our
Home is there (John 14:2)
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Our
Name is there
(Luke 10:20)
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but
rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Our
Life is there (Colossians
3:1-3)
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on
things on the earth.
Our
Heart is there (Matthew
6:19-21)
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your
heart be also.
Our
Inheritance is there (1 Peter
3:3-5)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his
abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and
that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of
God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Our
Citizenship is there
(Philippians 3:20)
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the
Lord Jesus Christ:
Let us keep talking together as we go
forward together in the Lord.
