Heaven With God!
"If then you were raised with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ is..."
Colossians 3: 1
While Ruth Bryant was celebrating her 100th birthday party,
the police arrived at her assisted living center with handcuffs.
“Are you Miss Bryant?” said an officer. He handcuffed her to
her walker and led her to the police car. When she kicked at
him, he said, “Don’t kick me; I’ve got a bad knee.” Ruth said,
“I’ve got two bad knees!”
She was taken to county jail and given an orange jumpsuit—
and then everyone posed for pictures! Apparently one of the
remaining items on Ruth’s bucket list was to be arrested for
something.
Do you have a bucket list—things you want to do before you
kick the bucket? Whatever you miss on earth will quickly be
forgotten in heaven, for that is when our life truly begins in
splendor. This world is a brief prologue to the real story—
our eternal home in heaven.
Sometimes we think we’re missing out because we can’t visit
every country, fulfill every desire, experience every adventure,
and enjoy every opportunity. But earth is fading away, and our
future is glorious—heaven with God!
What a blessed thought! Our eternity
in heaven is secure through Christ.
"Heaven is a realm of unsurpassed joy,
unfading glory, undiminished bliss,
unlimited delights, and unending
pleasures."
John MacArthur
