We talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. ~ D.L. Moody
5.4.07
He is Risen
"Come, see the place where the Lord lay," with joy and gladness. He does not lie there now. Weep, when ye see the tomb of Christ, but rejoice because it is empty. Thy sin slew him, but his divinity raised him up. Thy guilt hath murdered him, but his righteousness hath restored him. Oh! he hath burst the bonds of death, he hath ungirt the cerements of the tomb, and hath come out more than conqueror, crushing death beneath his feet. Rejoice, O Christian, for he is not there -- he is risen.
~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
This earth is not my home. I am only here for a short time. Therefore I am but a sojourner and a wayfaring stranger while travelling through this world.
Though I journey through a sea of trouble and sorrow, I have joy in my heart, knowing that I have with me those who love me and an awesome God who loves me with an everlasting love for all eternity.
