We studied heaven in Bible Class again last night. I told the story about how we were watching the Olympics a few years ago and one of the gymnasts had one the gold medal (the show was tape delay). The announcers were talking about how the Japanese or Russian had one and there was no way short of a miracle the American would win. I told the kids that the American had one, I had seen it on TV earlier in the day. They said I was wrong or had misunderstood the news report. I said I was positive. Sure enough, the American did win.
Heaven is like that. Paul and Peter had both seen heaven. Jesus said we will be there with him. It's already and accomplished fact. We sit here watching in tape delay. We sometimes struggle to believe when we know the truth. Faith is simply that trust that when someone tells us an accomplished fact, we just need to believe it.
Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins? That's faith!
