2 | In Heaven a-way from pain | Ps 23:4 | Robert Nicholson | 34868 | ||
Dear Grace7044: My prayers are with you at this time as you mourn the loss of your mom. I have gone down that road as well when I was 19 and my mom 47. That is why I love Psalm 23:4 as we are reminded of our walk in this valley of death. I love the following words: "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away" (Song of Solomon 4:6a) The triumph of our Saviour at Calvary assures us that a day is coming when those who know him will be reunited by those who sleep in Christ (1 Thess.4) Dear sister, you wonder what heaven is like. Jesus said "I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2 He purchased that place for us by his own precious blood. It is not a building or a city necessarily, but it is in the present of Christ himself. In Cor.5 Paul reminds us that our present bodies are like a tent which if the Lord tarries we will put off. In v.4 he speaks of how wonderful it would be to be alive when Christ comes and to be immediately changed from mortal to immortal bodies. However, Paul sensing that his time on earth was short comforts us with the confidence that if we die, that we will be present with the Lord V 6-8 I do not believe this is soul sleep but to be present with him is to be awake in his presence. We are not told much about the presence of the Lord. We know that he is seated at the right hand of God. There are angels who worship him. It would seem reasonable that when we arrive in his presence that our hearts would respond in praise to him. The story is told of a wife who asked her husband "will you talk to me in heaven" He answered " after I gaze on the Lord Jesus for a thousand years, I may have time to look back at you". We are not really given much information about heaven, because human words cannot express the beauty, love and peace it will be in the presence of Christ. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." (Cor. 2:9) Over the years I have often wondered if my mom and dad have any knowledge of earth. This may be wishful thinking. We know however, that our Lord Jesus is looking done and he genuinely cares for those who have suffered loss. I love the hope in this old hymn "some day the silver cord will break, And I no more as now shall sing, But Oh the joy when I awake, Within the Palace of the King. Then I shall see him face to face, And tell the story Saved by grace." May God be very near to you as you morn this loss. Remember, that God gave us memories, so that we could have roses in December". God bless you and yours Your brother by his grace Robert |
