The journey to Heaven, to the kingdom, begins the day we ask Jesus into our hearts, to be our Savior.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
While on earth, Jesus was always talking about the kingdom. Everything He did was a reflection of that beautiful, wonderful place. He often went off alone to be with His Father so He could come back to people and perform the Father’s will in their midst. It’s the Father’s will to restore the kingdom in us. The kingdom is full of the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven.
Matthew 6:10
God’s will is so full of righteousness. His will is full of all that is right. Right – What joy.
But our citizenship is in heaven. ☺
Philippians 3:20a
On earth as it is in Heaven – Mmmm…Sounds good, doesn’t it? Such joy.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23
Heaven – All that is right. Take time to look up, to contemplate righteousness and all that it brings to our lives.
God bless,
Mark
