A hole in the sky???


Look, the sky has a hole in it!!!  Maybe its a pathway to heaven; maybe not, but whatever it is, its an uncommon sight to be sure!!!  Why think about heaven?  Well, why not?  There has to be something better than this world.  And the ways things have been going this world just seems to be getting worse and worse.  Ask yourself, how many wars, how many economic downturns, how much political intrigue and corruption can there be?  Sooner or later, western civilization as we know it seems doomed.  There is in fact something better, something awaiting us that will be truly magnificent.  And this is how I know...

WEB: John Chapter 14

[1] "“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. [2] In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. [3] If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. [4] Where I go, you know, and you know the way.”"

[5] Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

[6] Jesus said to him, "“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

The way to heaven isn't through some hole in the sky, its through Jesus.  Recently, its become fashionable to bash Christianity, to degrade and attempt to restrict the influence of Jesus of Nazareth.  Stupidity, because why would someone want to malign someone who has done something wonderful for you?  Jesus has shown us the way to paradise and whoever is foolish enough to ignore it will really be missing out on something very special.  But, people will always do things that aren't good for them and I sincerely hope that you do not fall into that category.  Until the time comes for my entry into heaven, I will keep looking up at the sky and wonder what is really beyond that hole, but whatever it is I know it will be HOLY, because Jesus is there and that is where I want to be.  How about you???
