What is the most amazing, delicious dessert you have ever had? Did you know when we get to heaven, it will be better than anything on Earth?
In heaven, God plans to restore His creation. That means all the broken parts of Christian’s lives will be fixed. There will be no more sadness, mourning or death. We will get to live with God for all eternity. And when we trust in God’s forgiveness through Jesus, we get to experience this eternity! It will be better than anything we can imagine because we will be with God who loves us so much.
In the book of Revelation, the Bible tells us more. Let’s find out by reading Revelation 21:18-27!
ESV
The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day — and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Wow! Did you catch what the gates will be made of and what the streets will be paved with? Each gate will be made from a single pearl, and the streets will be paved with gold! Amazing!
Inside the city walls, all believers and God will be together! God’s presence is so magnificent that there won’t be a sun and moon. God, Himself, will be our light!
In heaven, all things will be made new. In heaven, we will be restored. In heaven, we will live with Jesus — forever. And God’s Big Story will go on for all eternity.
