Your Final Trip!
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
nor have entered into the heart of man the things
which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
1 Corinthians 2: 9
Imagine that you have saved for years for a once-in-a-lifetime
adventure vacation. You’ve researched a destination and talked
with a travel agent about a best places to stay. You know where
you are going, what to expect, and can’t wait to get the most out
of your dream adventure trip.
Now compare that pre-trip strategy to this one: do no research
or reading and talk with no one about your destination. Pack a
bag and go. Which trip is likely to be the most fulfilling—
before, during, and after?
The trip for which you prepare diligently, of course! And
the same is true for our ultimate and final trip as
Christians:
our trip to our eternal home with Christ in New Jerusalem
(Revelation 21).
But even after reading everything the Bible says about
heaven, 1 Corinthians 2:9 says we can’t imagine all that
God has prepared for us!
Learn all you can now about heaven, but don’t
be surprised if it turns out to be beyond your
wildest expectations!
"The more spiritual we are, the
more we shall think about heaven."
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
