Waiting on Heaven

2 Peter 3:9; Revelation 21:21b

Christians look forward to the day we will be with Christ in heaven where the great street of the city is made of gold. It can be hard to wait until that time, especially as we live in a fallen, sinful world. We might wonder why it’s taking God so long to bring all believers home. But His waiting means that more people have time to be brought into His family. His love is so great that He gives unbelievers time to repent and come to a saving faith in Him.

Questions for further thought:
1. What do you most look forward to about heaven?
2. Who in your life needs to know the Good News of Jesus? 

Challenge: Pray for God to show you practical ways you can demonstrate His love to those who don’t know Him. Maybe it’s having coffee with a co-worker and sharing something God has done in your life. Maybe it’s reading Bible storybooks to young children in your extended family who have never heard of Jesus.
