Billy Graham Devotional 17 February 2020 – Our Eternal Home
TOPIC: Our Eternal Home
SCRIPTURE: I create new heavens . . . — Isaiah 65:17
MESSAGE: What kind of place is heaven?
First, heaven is home. The Bible takes the word “home” with all of its tender associations and with all of its sacred memories and tells us that heaven is home.
Second, heaven is a home which is permanent. We have the promise of a home where Christ’s followers will remain forever.
Third, the Bible teaches that heaven is a home which is beautiful beyond every imagination. Heaven could not help but be so, because God is a God of beauty.
Billy Graham Devotional 17 February 2020 – Fourth, the Bible teaches that heaven will be a home which is happy, because there will be nothing to make it sad. In heaven families and friends will be reunited. God’s house will be a happy home because Christ will be there. He will be the center of heaven. To Him all hearts will turn, and upon Him all eyes will rest.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
As I think of the promise of an eternal home with You and the reunion with my loved ones—I rejoice!
