As a believer have you ever thought about who will welcome you to Heaven? We seem to have an idea that Peter will literally be holding a set of keys standing at the gate providing entrance into the eternal dwellings. Perhaps you picture the saints of Scripture standing on the street of gold waving to you as you are guided to your mansion by a choir of exalted angels. Do you envision friends and family members who have already crossed over waiting anxiously for your arrival?
I personally think heaven, while a place for all who accept Christ and His message of salvation, will be a deeply personal experience. Worshipping God forever will be amazing and awe-inspiring. God shall dwell among us and in us and all around us. The Glory of God will be the light of that eternal homeland. Truly a wondrous place.
Provided we do in fact recognize one another in some way on the shores of the beyond, who do you want on your heavenly welcoming committee?
