A Picture of Heaven
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (Revelation 7:9a).
On a diverted flight, I was seated in a row with a mother from Syria, and a father from Venezuela. Since English was their second language, I clarified what the captain said over the loudspeaker to the passengers. As we waited, we shared our lives, our faith, and the camaraderie of people who have lived through an odd situation.
This is the first week in Advent and all I could think about were the Wise Men traveling to find the Christ Child. We will celebrate that event on Epiphany, but people were searching for Christ throughout all history. Glean motivation to share that Gospel by reading the βLet God Use Youβ devotion from lwml.org.
I cannot wait to see my new friends when we are standing around the throne of God!
