Brochure of Heaven

Brochure of Heaven

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven... into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
2 Corinthians 12:2-4

Recommended Reading
John 14:1-6

The apostle Paul was caught into heaven where he saw glorious things, but he wasn't allowed to describe them. Perhaps that was because he was the apostle of salvation, a man with one message--we are saved by grace through faith. Later, however, John was also caught into heaven and he, too, saw God's Paradise, the New Jerusalem. Aren't you glad he was allowed to tell what he saw and heard? To John was given the privilege of closing God's Book with a two-chapter travel brochure of New Jerusalem.

He described the descent of this capital city from a distance, then up close. He gave us its measurements in human terms. He described the walls, gates, foundations, and streets. He went inside and saw the throne in the City's center, from which flowed a river, a golden boulevard, and the verdant Tree of Life Park.

Do you have your place reserved in God's City? Our reservations are held under the name of Jesus, and He alone is our ticket there. Make sure your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

The best moment of a Christian's life is his last one, because it is the one that is nearest heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
