Heaven Now

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21

Hymnist John Peterson wrote:

O, what a wonderful, wonderful day--day I will never forget;
After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met.
O, what a tender compassionate friend--He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart.
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Savior made me whole;
My sins were washed away, and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!

Heaven came down. Why is it that we want to put heaven off? Heaven is already come to us! If you've been saved, heaven is with you RIGHT NOW! The Jews were looking for a Messiah Who would set up a kingdom, and Jesus said, "The kingdom is being installed within you now!" They were looking for a physical throne they could see, but His plan was something much better. We're already living forever, eternal life has already begun, and heaven has already sprung up within us. You don't have to wait for it...heaven came down! Enjoy it TODAY!
