Top 3 Bible Verses-What Heaven is NOT like …
Plus an Everyday Story from a restaurant….
“A little bit of chicken-heaven…”
Her family hears her call…
And follows her through the restaurant door…
Like a gaggle of goslings following Mama and Poppa Goose.
Sons and sons-in-law…
Daughters and daughters-in-law…
Grand children and grandparents…
Cousins and aunts and uncles.
25 hungry people!
Swarming around the room …
Fighting for a place to sit.
Hungry for all-you-can-eat chicken night!
The owner stops by our table…
“I’m glad they’re here,” he says…
“But I wish I’d known they were coming!”
The problem?
The restaurant seats 30 people…
And it was half full before the family of 25 arrived.
Family members looking for a seat line the walls…
Circle tables where chicken gobblers are trying to eat.
The chicken may be heavenly…
But the crush of people is not!
“Chicken Heaven?” one member of the family calls out…
Laughter fills the room.
Not exactly heaven!
Jesus says there will be no shortage of room in Heaven…
John 14:2
In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
There will be no more disappointment or fear or pain…
Revelation 21:1-4
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
And God …
Will not be surprised when we show up…
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
One thought on “Top 3 Bible Verses-What Heaven is NOT like”
You know, have you ever looked at the World map and seen the operation of the sea, between here and the east.
And the sea will be no more, I notice this, looking at the map, it seems the land was separated from the flood of Noah
It seems to me to fit back together as one, like a piece of a puzzle
The sea no more, which has separated the land, back to one, I think in speculations. However, it will be a day I look forward to be in, that God does for us all to be in by continued belief to his love and mercy through Son given us. Even if and whenever in any adversities
Thanking Father and Son as Won (One) for us all to be in them as won for us to be one with them
Amazing, as I do not deserve to have been given this or anyone else either
Humility I see is where to stand at even in knowing truth given me to stand in
Thank you again Bob for the care you continue in for all
