On a Journey: Heaven the Destination
Followers of Christ are to live as one on a journey with heaven as our destination.
A house, property, work, a ministry, recreation, “˜stuff”™ which we accumulate, whatever you have in this world (no matter how much or how little) ““ shouldn”™t we use them as a means in doing God”™s will, His way?
People work hard to make a living, in some cases to simply exist. Knowing the Lord Jesus Christ gives a different perspective to living.
(NASB) John 17:16 “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
Jesus gives us encouragement to not live as if there were nothing better for us as His followers.
Put in a positive form: Jesus encourages us to live with anticipation because there is something much better waiting for us”¦and it is Jesus Himself, it is heaven.
As you continue your journey today”¦keep your destination in mind.
