Meeting Jesus Face To Face
The Real Beauty of Heaven is Meeting Jesus Face to Face
Have you ever thought about how beautiful Heaven must be?
Pastor and author, the late Adrian Rogers, once said,
The God who sculpted the wings of the butterfly, blended the hues of the rainbow, and painted the meadows with daffodils is the same who made Heaven. – Pastor Adrian Rogers 1
Can you even imagine?
The perfect artistry of God
The vibrant colors of God’s rainbows
His excellent design
As breathtaking as the beauty of heaven will be, nothing will compare with the heart-stirring beauty of finally meeting Jesus face to face.
Think about it.
To see Him and to hear Him in person!
This is why, as Bible-believing Christians, we have no reason to fear death.
The jaws of evil, so evident in our corrupt world, will be wired shut forever and we will enter eternity with our living Savior.
Meeting Jesus Face to Face
We will meet Jesus face to face.
That is what is in store for those who trust Him as their Savior.
What will He actually look like?
What will His voice actually sound like?
Dear Christian, we’ll find out some day.
Poet Deborah Ann Belka has won a lot of recognition for her Christ-honoring poems.
This particular one caught my eye.
It highlights the joy we’ll have when we finally see Jesus face to face.
If Today I Met Jesus
by Deborah Ann Belka
If today I were to meet Jesus,
and my life here came to an end
I would be so excited
to finally meet my eternal Friend.
I would run up to Him,
and look into His face
I would be so very thankful
for His endless supply of grace.
I would drop down to my knees,
and worship my everlasting King
I would shout hallelujah
and my praises I would sing.
I would leap and jump with joy,
as soon as my feet hit the floor
I would be forever grateful
He opened to me heaven’s door.
If today I were to meet Jesus,
and I were to see my eternal Friend
I know that I would be in paradise
and my bliss would never end.
. . .
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, King James Version
“For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of
the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first:
Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we ever be with the
Lord.”
Let The Redeemed Say So
We are closer to eternity than we think.
Keep looking up.
The joys of Heaven are ahead!
