Eye hath not seen

Christmas isn’t the same for adults as it is for children.

It is still magnificent, but it is magnificent in a different way. Christmas for a child is magical because of the unknown. You go to bed with cookies and milk out and an empty tree. You wake to an empty plate and glass and a beautiful assortment of gifts. There is no telling what is in each brightly colored box, but it is believed to be exactly what we hoped for.

I believe Heaven will be just like Christmas again. We know what the scripture teaches us of Heaven, but we cannot begin to grasp what it will all mean. We do not know what life in a glorified body that lacks a sin nature is like. We do not know what pure air, water and food is like. We do not know what the glory of God and the light of Jesus will look like. The excitement lies in the unknown goodness that awaits us.

I think the first hour in Heaven will be just like Christmas was when we were children.
