Whet Your Appetite for Heaven by David Jeremiah

Whet Your Appetite for Heaven 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 your destination and talked with a travel agent about the 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. Just 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.
