\n

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. Revelation 7:9<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When you think of heaven, who do you see there? Is it full of grandmas and grandpas walking down golden streets? Are there white hair harpists floating on clouds everywhere? Are there angelic choirs singing God\u2019s praise from on high?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, cartoons paint our ideas of heaven more than the Bible. Fortunately, God gave the apostle John these visions in the book of Revelation. They serve as a glimpse of the heavenly glory, and in this passage, we see \u201cwho\u201d will be in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passage tells us that heaven will be overflowing with people from every nation, tribe, people, and language. The truth is that God wants all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Wherever God\u2019s Word is preached and believed, there are believers. And though these believers come from all over, they are all dressed the same. They are wearing white robes\u2014a picture of the very righteousness and holiness of God, which Jesus gives to all who believe in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone in heaven will be purified forever from all sin. That\u2019s a picture worth a thousand words. As it is right now, you and I cannot wash away even one of our sins, but through faith in Jesus alone and clothed in his forgiveness and love, our sins are taken away. Should God call us home tonight, we are dressed and ready to join the multitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To top it off, this victory celebration will never end. What a refreshing and wonderful sight! That\u2019s what Jesus has in store for you and all who believe in him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for lifting my eyes to heaven and reminding me of the treasures and glories you have in store for me and all who believe. Help me to continue to share your love, so that through your Word, many more may join the everlasting celebration. Amen.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
