Someone asked journalist Lee Strobel what he wants to do in heaven. He said, “I want to fall at the feet of Jesus for rescuing me from this lifetime of purposelessness and sin and depravity and showering me with this undeserved grace. That’s the first thing I want to do. Second thing I want to do is track down Luke, the author of the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts, because he was kind of a first century investigative reporter. Yeah, that’s what I want to do when I get to Heaven.”¹

What do you want to do when you get to heaven? Whom do you want to meet? What projects would you like to tackle? What landscapes would you like to view on the new earth?

We should eagerly await our Savior’s return and our eternal life in heaven. Our mindset should be focused on our future with Jesus. One way to help us stay focused is by visualizing as best we can the biblical truths about the return of Christ and the beauty of heaven. Ask God to give you rich and biblical thoughts about what’s just ahead for the children of God!

What a sweetness to feel homesick for Heaven!
