"You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
(PSALM 16:11)

Revelation 22:1-5
Have you ever wondered what the loud trumpet call will sound like when suddenly your time on this earth is over and Jesus has returned? Can you imagine anything more wonderful than reaching out to your Lord as He reaches for you?


Such amazing eternal delights await us who know Him. Just think about how it will be. The light that surrounds us will be from the shining radiance of the Son of God Himself. Our feet will step onto streets of pure gold. We’ll breathe crystal clean air unlike anything we’ve known here on earth. And (how welcomed this will be!) we’ll feel invigorated, entirely free from pain, weariness, and burdens.


We’ll find delight in discovering that we are no longer earthbound, but are at last in heaven with our Creator and Redeemer! We can already worship Him with words that – once lifted up in praise in heaven – will have even greater significance. “Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live… my mouth will praise you” (Psalm 63:3-5).
