But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting
a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The group gave it some serious thought, but none of them seemed willing to answer.
However, as it always works with kids of any age, one young man rose to his feet,
turned to A.J. and began to address the group in response to the question of the hour.
"That's easy," said Matthew. "The way you get to heaven is to go to the North Pole, put
it in neutral and go straight up."
How are you going to get into heaven once you get to the pearly gates?
Calvin of the cartoon CALVIN AND HOBBES, is lying beneath a tree. He says to
Hobbes: "What if there is no afterlife? Suppose this is all we get?"
Hobbes replies: "Oh, what the heck. I'll take it anyway."
Calvin says: "Yeah, but if I'm not going to be eventually rewarded for my behavior, I'd
like to know NOW!"
The answer is already before us in the Bible. God is counting on us to join Him!
(Philippians 3.20
NRSV)
The school bus was filled with children discussing various topics as children often do.
Suddenly waxing serious, A.J. asked the group, "Where is heaven? I don't know."
Heavenly Father, bring me close to heaven today and forever, as I live the hope I have
in Jesus Christ. Amen.
