Living in a Wigwam….

                    …..Waiting for the wonders of Heaven  

For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

    When I say the word Heaven what images does your mind conjure up?
    A castle?  A mansion? A city? A prison, maybe?
   Who or what  populates your picture of Heaven?
   Flowers? People? Light? Gold paving slabs? Fruit, maybe? 
     Whatever you picture- and however wrong that picture may be- I put it to you:  if you are a Christian then you desire to be in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ. If not: there’s a problem.
      Paul, an early convert to Christianity, who wrote a number of letters to early churches across the Roman Empire, described this world as a ‘tent’ in comparison to our ‘heavenly dwelling’. (Personally I like to use the metaphor of  a Wigwam!) He had such an earnest longing for Heaven- he even talks about his ‘groaning’ for Heaven!

So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

      The Bible tells us a lot about Heaven.
      My aim over the next few posts is to unravel some of the biblical truths of Heaven. I can’t even begin to understand, comprehend or even grasp at, the amazing wonders of Heaven. My hope is that these posts will give you a desire to search for the truth about Heaven yourselves.
     As I heard it put recently- ‘Stop moaning about petrol prices, VAT and the income tax and start groaning for Heaven!’
