I shared briefly on Facebook what happened a couple of days ago, but wanted to blog about it now and add quite a few other thoughts and links.    

I think we will celebrate the birth of Christ in Heaven for all eternity. How could we not celebrate His incarnation? Certainly we will celebrate—though celebrate doesn't seem quite the right word—the triumph of the resurrection of Christ. 

Over the years, a number of people have told me, “We shouldn’t think about Heaven. We should just think about Jesus.”

The Morning Star was the name Venus went by in the ancient world. Jesus also calls himself the Morning Star, but that doesn't mean it can't have its usual meaning also in a different context. 

It becomes us to spend this life only as a journey toward heaven... to which we should subordinate all other concerns of life. Why should we labor for or set our hearts on anything else, but that which is our proper end and true happiness? —Jonathan Edwards, The Christian Pilgrim

As I’ve often said, A. W. Tozer is one of my favorite all-time authors. I love what he says here, and what I also love is that elsewhere He affirms God’s holiness, justice and wrath in uncompromising ways, then gives us this beautiful depiction of God’s love for His children, and His delight in us
