Do you ever wonder about an afterlife? If you identify as Christian you likely believe in a place Jesus called “Heaven”. If so, do you ever wonder what it might be like? Home? Or maybe, a life that lasts forever? A city that lives in peace and prosperity, where the lion lies down with the lamb?

I love one of the images Jesus gives us of heaven: a wedding banquet. Surrounded by people you love celebrating the vow to make that same love the most important thing of all.

The Bible writers echo Jesus when they say “Keep your thoughts on heaven. It will give you perspective on the troubles of today. All of our present sufferings will pale in comparison to the glory that will be revealed. And for today, do everything you can to bring heaven to earth.” It’s possible. Jesus did it and promised that we can too.
