If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? John 3:12
This question our Lord asked of Nicodemus, but it is for us as well. While we may want to skip on up to the heavenly things, we have a lifetime of learning the earthly things from our Lord. As we build an enduring faith in our Lord Jesus by learning with Him the earthly things, we also yearn toward the promise of those heavenly things. Jesus and His prophets gave us some clues about those heavenly things, but much of that remains beyond our knowledge. No worries though, we have much to learn yet about our Lord, ourselves, and all those neighbors around us we are to love. There is certainly enough for us to learn in this lifetime.
One heavenly thing to claim is the promise of Jesus that He will come again and take us there!
