"If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."
John 3:12-13
The first verse here is interesting because I think we fall into that trap a lot. We look for the answers to mysterious heavenly things from God, but we don't trust him when it comes to our own lives, which is the real mistake. :)
I also love the idea in the second verse that nothing goes to heaven except what came from there in the first place, meaning Christ of course but including us as well. I think it really affects the way we see the world when we understand that this earth life is an in-between stage. We lived with God, and we will live with him again if we don't let our bodily appetites get in the way of our spiritual wisdom.
Today, let's think on heaven a little bit, and let's remember that is where we're from and our true home. Let's believe God when he gives us advice about our lives, and let's turn to him for help so that we can follow his path back home to him.
