神秘的天堂

The Mystery of Heaven

“我一生一世必有恩惠慈爱随着我；我且要住在耶和华的殿中，直到永远。”

—-诗23:6

I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

—Psalm 23:6

天堂是什么样的？就像地狱是个神秘的地方一样，天堂也很神秘。然而，我相信《圣经》教导我们天堂是一个真实存在的地方。它是某一颗星星吗？我不知道，我甚至不能推测。《圣经》没有告诉我们。我相信在太空中有10亿个星系，每一个星系的直径都在10万光年以上，上帝总能在天堂找到安置我们的地方。我不担心天堂在哪里，我知道那就是耶稣所在的地方。基督徒不必垂头丧气，气馁和沮丧。想想耶稣所给你的喜乐、平安、饶恕，还有天堂。

What will heaven be like? Just as there is a mystery to hell, so there is a mystery to heaven. Yet I believe the Bible teaches that heaven is a literal place. Is it one of the stars? I don’t know, I can’t even speculate. The Bible doesn’t inform us. I believe that out there in space where there are one thousand million galaxies, each a hundred thousand light years or more in diameter, God can find some place to put us in heaven. I’m not worried about where it is. I know it will be where Jesus is. Christians don’t have to go around discouraged and despondent, with their shoulders bent. Think of it-the joy, the peace, the sense of forgiveness that He gives you, and then heaven, too.

每日祷告

主，不论我面对什么，我的心是喜乐的，因我知道我最终的目的地是天堂，在那里，我会永远与你在一起。

Prayer for the day

Whatever I face, Lord, my heart rejoices in the knowledge of my ultimate destination—heaven— where I will live with You for eternity!
