What would Christmas look like in Heaven if we could see merely a glimpse...
Revelation 4:5-11
5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
Given that the New Heaven is a culmination of all the efforts of Truth, Grace upon Grace of Jesus. Heaven is of course the culmination of existing with God Almighty Father of all who Believe in His Word upholding us, every day and always. Heaven was bought with a price of Jesus.
We would be tempted to say God is so far above us, Father God is unknowable, unreachable and like the stars or the sun. Instead, Father God has told us when we have seen Jesus, we have seen Father God. Is God Spirit? Yes, but not Spirit alone. Father God wanted us to know almost immediately when He began creation, He saw us as His Children and created us in His image.
John was explained to like Daniel, like Isaiah, exactly the same as Moses, we will see Father God in our time.
Abba, Abba, Abba,
You are worthy. We ask if You would bless us. And surround us with Your Love.
We will one day see the Birthday of Jesus celebrated in Your Kingdom.
The Fullness of God will fill us and Living Water will flow from Your Grace and Love. And we will see.
Encouragement from being united with Christ Jesus. We will know comfort from His Love. We will dwell with sharing in the Spirit. We will be filled with Your tenderness and compassion. Our joy completes by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. The Triumph of You, our Almighty, Father's Love.
The Joy of Christmas will live in our heart's daily. The fullness of God shine from us.
This Blessing we pray upon ourselves, the people we Love, Your Beloved Children, our communities, Churches, work places, families, Nation - to the believing world. The only fire is Your Love. And shines all over the earth You see as good yesterday, today and tomorrow. More Heaven on earth, please, in the Power of the Name of Jesus. Amen.
