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!
