Let's Go Back to the Bible

When Paul arrives in heaven

Imagine for a moment what it will be like for Paul and those around him when he enters through heaven’s gate of pearl and walks down the street of gold. First, think about the exuberant joy that is going to fill his heart and, no doubt, pour forth from his every essence. Next, think about the thousands of souls who heard the good news from his lips and obeyed the gospel, who will see Paul and be full of love and gratitude. Then, think about those who have read his letters and followed his example for the last 2,000 years and of their excitement to meet him there.

But, turn your imagination in one other direction. What about those souls who will be in heaven, whose lives were taken at the hands of Paul because of their allegiance to the risen Christ? What do you think will go through their minds when they see the persecutor in heaven?

Now, what do you think others will think when you arrive in heaven? Joyful? Thankful? Surprised? One thing that is going to make heaven heaven are the people we will meet there!
