THE GAINS OF HEAVEN WILL MORE THAN COMPENSATE US FOR THE LOSSES OF EARTH. . . Heaven is not afterthought or an optional belief. It is the final justification of all creation. The bible never belittles human tragedy and disappointment - is any book more painfully honest? - but it does add one key word: TEMPORARY. What we feel now, we will not always feel. The time of re-creation will come. . . For people who feel trapped in pain or in a broken home, in economic misery or in fear - all of us - heaven promises a timeless future of health and wholeness and pleasure and peace. The bible begins with the promise of a Redeemer in the book of Genesis (3:15) and ends with the promise (Rev. 21:1-7) - a guarantee of future reality. The end will be the beginning. . . Have a blessed Saturday! God bless! :)
