[Discoveries] 02-01-08 The finish line -- Hebrews 12:22-24

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city 
of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels 
in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are 
written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all men, to the 
spirits of righteous men made perfect, to Jesus, the Mediator of a new 
covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the 
blood of Abel. -- Hebrews 12:22-24*/

On the day your name was written in heaven, you became part of something 
bigger than you, bigger than life itself. Hebrews speaks of a race, and 
there is no way to measure the glory at the finish line.

Years ago I had a dream that the heavens were beginning to open and I 
knew at the next moment I would see God. Was I leaving this life? I 
didn't know. I thought that I would feel fear, but I didn't. In the 
place of fear was wonder, an awe which I, the writer, have not found 
words to describe even though 20 years have passed.

Jesus speaks of true riches. What are they? They are the face of Christ, 
the family of God, and the song of the Father.

I've known people who have visited heaven. None of them wanted to come 
back. I think the Lord wants to encourage us -- it's going to be worth it.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
