The Great Attraction of Heaven

"Let not your heart be troubled. Be believe in God, believe also in Me; in My Father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you and will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am, you may be also!" John 14

"I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better!" Philippians 1:23

The great attraction of heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ. He Himself is the object chiefly enjoyed. To be with Jesus and like Jesus, and to behold His glory, constitute the heaven which true believers desire! They long to behold that blessed face which was buffeted for them! Their eternal anthem is, "All praise to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding His blood for us! Give to Him everlasting glory! He rules forever and ever! Amen!"
