HEAVEN! IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE! by Ray Eddy

Have you ever wondered what heaven will be like? There are many questions about heaven. Will there be animals there? Are the streets really paved with gold? Will we see God? Just exactly where is it located? Will there be trade and commerce? And just what will we be doing all the time in a place where there is no day or night? How will we know one another? Will we be of different ages? And if so, who will care for the babies and little children? If heaven is a city, will there be a country outside of its limits? And what about agriculture, or will we even have to eat?

So many questions and so few answers, and if you are reading this expecting to find answers, let me assure you in plain words, “I don’t Know.” Then what’s the point of talking about heaven if we don’t know what it is going to be like?

The point is this, Heaven is not so much a ‘place’ as it is a ‘people.’ What will make heaven ‘heavenly’ are the people we will see there. I’m not sure we will see God except as God wishes to be revealed to us, but I do know that we’ll see Jesus, and we’ll see all those people of God found in His Word. We’ll see friends and loved ones who have died and gone before us, in a grand reunion before God’s throne.

‘PEOPLE,’ it won’t be heaven without them! SEE YA THERE!
