Mustard Seed Thoughts: Heaven Three

Heaven Three

By: Ron Edmondson Mustard Seed Thoughts

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Revelation 21:1-7

Sometimes I feel as though I would be taking away from the impact if I try to add commentary to Scripture. Today�s passage certainly stands alone.

All I can say is that Heaven is a happy place �no more tears, or crying or pain� Heaven is a big place....the Bible uses words like �spacious and mansions�. Heaven is a final place �no more dieing...dwelling of God shall be with men... and He will live with them...forever....the old order of things has passed away....�

Heaven will look like perfection. Even so, come Lord Jesus!

THE FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST

2 Corinthians 2:14-16

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Corinthians+2:14-16

Dear Father,

Let the incense which is my life and my prayers arise as a sweet
fragrance to you.

Thanks be to you, my God, that you always lead me in triumph, and
through me, spread the fragrance of the knowledge of Christ
everywhere. Thank you that you have appointed Christians to be the
aroma of Christ to yourself among those who are being saved and
among those who are perishing. To the one we are a fragrance from
death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.

Who is sufficient for these things? Certainly not I! Your grace
alone upholds me.

In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

WJD! -- Who Do They Say I Am? -- Mark 8:27

Who Do They Say I Am?

Jesus and his followers went to the towns in the area of
Caesarea Philippi. While they were traveling, Jesus asked the
followers, "Who do people say I am?"

-- Mark 8:27 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
If you ask people today who they think Jesus is, you will get a myriad
of answers. Many folks don't know and quite a few don't care. The lost
world's greatest need is for Jesus' followers to both know who he
really is and demonstrate it in our lives!

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father in heaven, help us -- and especially help me -- better
demonstrate who Jesus is to those around us. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.

Today's Verse : 2 Corinthians 5:21

VERSE:
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we
might become the righteousness of God.
-- 2 Corinthians 5:21

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Corinthians+5:21

THOUGHT:
Jesus was perfect, spotless, holy, righteous, and clean. Yet he
became what he hated, sin. Why would he do such a thing? Because he
loved us and wanted us to be what he is today, the righteousness of
God.

PRAYER:
Almighty and loving Father, thank you for making me holy -- your
righteousness -- by the sacrifice of Jesus. Thank you, dear Savior,
for paying such a horrible price, not just by dying on the cross,
but also by becoming my sin and carrying away my guilt. All praise
to you, dear Father, for your plan, and thanks and glory to you,
dear Jesus, for your loving sacrifice. Amen.

Pink Slip, by Teresa Bell Kindred

Check out our new women's blog, featuring Teresa Bell Kindred. You can
find it online here: http://akindredheart.com

"Hey Mom," my daughter said when I answered the phone, "I've got some
big news. I didn't get a pink slip!"

My daughter is a first year teacher and many of her friends and
co-workers did get the dreaded pink slip. Some of them will be rehired
before school starts back in the fall, but Kentucky's education budget
is tighter than ever; and, as a former school board member, I am well
aware that dollars only stretch so far.

He never gives pink slips!

I think my daughter was destined to be a teacher from the time she was
just a little girl. While her friends were asking for baby dolls for
Christmas she wanted marker boards to play "teacher." Maybe she was
genetically programmed to teach. Her grandmother was a teacher and so
am I, as well as many of her aunts and cousins.

Some people are born knowing what they want to do with their lives,
while others have to search in order to find their calling. Some folks
are born into Christian families and accept Christ easily. Others know
that they need something to cling to, but they aren't sure where to
look. Still others turn down roads that lead them to heartache and
destruction.

No matter how we get to Christ, once we are there, we are all treated
the same. Christ is an "equal opportunity employer: and He never gives
pink slips (Hebrews 13:5-8; Romans 8:32-39). He wants all His children
with Him forever.

Follow God's example in everything you do, because you are his dear
children (Ephesians 5:1).
