“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; December 14, 2007

 

          You can tell a lot from a quick glance into a family’s home and if you were to take a look at ours you would soon figure out that Jeane and I love the tropics.  From the pictures of white sandy beaches on our walls to the conch shells on the bookshelves, we try to keep the warmth of the seaside as close as possible.  Even when there is snow on the ground or a chill in the air, a quick glance reminds us that something warm and wonderful awaits us.

          Have you noticed how prevalent the writings about heaven are in the Bible?  From Jesus’ promises of an eternal home with Him to John’s glimpses into the glory of the great beyond, the story of heaven is a major theme in God’s word.  I don’t think these citations are merely prooftexts for the surety of heaven, I also believe that they serve as a constant reminder of what awaits those who endure the troubles and struggles of the world. 

          Are you having a tough day?  Open the Book and let a little of the Sonshine of heaven in … it’s bound to brighten even the gloomiest days!

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
