What excites you about heaven?
I long to hear Jesus’ voice—His actual voice.
Is it possible we might kiss the feet of Jesus?
Might I also touch the hem of His robe?
What excites you about heaven?
• I want to TASTE the water of the river of life.
• I want to HEAR the voices of Cherubim and Seraphim.
• I want to TOUCH the gems of the gates of heaven and feel the press of gold pavers under my feet.
• I want to SEE what angels really look like—plus those six-winged creatures we read about.
I’m looking forward to…
• No more making apologies—we’ll never offend.
• No more guilt feelings—we’ll never be tempted.
• No more broken relationships—we’ll never be at odds.
I’m looking forward to…
• No more impure thoughts.
• No more selfish impulses.
• No more foolish choices.
What excites you about heaven?
I’m looking forward to…
• No more stress or distress.
• No more upset stomachs, sleepless nights, fevers, or chills.
• No more hospital visits—or doctor’s appointments.
• No more disappointments or delays, or disasters.
• No more funerals (aren’t you weary of standing around caskets?).
I want to listen to Nehemiah’s secret for standing up to all the opposition he faced rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls.
I’m looking forward to hearing David sing his Psalms in their original language—preferably accompanied by his harp. Imagine “Psalms by Request!”
I want to meet the thief on the cross and ask him what the turning point was when he realized that Christ could and would save his pathetic soul.
I long to embrace people I never thought stood a shot at getting inside the gates. People we prayed for and agonized over. Souls we felt were surely lost.
Imagine meeting someone who responded to a gospel tract you shared or bumping into a saint who—back on earth—appeared to reject your witness.
Will any of that that ever get old? Never!
Several years ago, I asked Tim Keller about heaven, and he shared this: "Think about the moments in your life—the two or three moments where you felt the most loved, the most delighted, the most blissful, and the most over-the-top. Then multiply that by three billion. This must be what heaven is like."
Now that Tim Keller is with Jesus, he knows!
