Are you longing for Heaven?

" But the truth is that they were yearning for and aspiring to a better and more desirable country, that is a heavenly [one]. Hebrews 11:16. My friend, are you longing for a heaven? Well are you?- when buddies on the beer commercial saying, 'it doesn't get much better than this?" or "It's a real thing" or "don't leave home without it" as if that company is your great rich uncle. What is your mind set when we are appalled by national news? Two Christian teenagers on their "outreach" round knocked one door to find a frenzied mother of four with a vacuum cleaner in one hand and screaming baby on the other, food burning on the stove and the living room so messy it looked like a tornado zone. "Are you interested in eternal life"?- Boys asked. "Frankly I don't think I could stand it", said the mom. Of course, we want suffering to stop,clean air, honest politician (Ummm), ceaseless beauty, end of loneliness and war. In another words we want heaven, right? It is difficult for many to conceive of anything that is really much better than this life. How upsetting for many that we won't be able to watch American Idol or Foot Ball in heaven! Heaven better have a great golf course in the sky, a friend of mine said. Bro: We must not be mistaken! We will not be prepared for heaven if our preoccupation with the things of this world eclipses our longing for things of the world to come. And it is a terrible mistake to be unprepared for judgment, if we do not take seriously our need to live faithful obedience to the Lord. Death and judgment are inevitable realities. Let us live with confident assurance that heaven will be our home because of God's grace and the Holy Spirit that has given to us! UNCHANGEABLE SUPREME GOD'S LAWS ARE THERE FOR US NOT SUPREME COURT'S.
