IMAGINE SEEING GOD

May the Lord bless you from Mount Zion, he who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 134:3


The Hebrew writer gives us a National Geographic piece on heaven. Listen to how he describes the mountaintop of Zion. He says when we reach the mountain we will have come to “the city of the living God.… To thousands of angels gathered together with joy.… To the meeting of God’s firstborn children whose names are written in heaven” (Heb 12:22-23).

What a mountain! Won’t it be great to see the angels? To finally know what they look like and who they are? …

Imagine the meeting of the firstborn. A gathering of all God’s children. No jealousy. No competition. No division.… We will be perfect … sinless.…

And imagine seeing God. Finally, to gaze in the face of your Father. To feel the Father’s gaze upon you. Neither will ever cease.
