"Northwest Trip (2)" for Saturday, 25 March 2017 from Deaf Devo of the Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States with the Bible Reading: Acts 7:54-60

"Northwest Trip (2)" for Saturday, 25 March 2017 from Deaf Devo of the Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States with the Bible Reading: Acts 7:54-60
Acts 7:54 On hearing these things, they were cut to their hearts and ground their teeth at him. 55 But he, full of the Ruach HaKodesh, looked up to heaven and saw God’s Sh’khinah, with Yeshua standing at the right hand of God. 56 “Look!” he exclaimed, “I see heaven opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”[Acts 7:56 Psalm 110:1]
57 At this, they began yelling at the top of their voices, so that they wouldn’t have to hear him; and with one accord, they rushed at him, 58 threw him outside the city and began stoning him. And the witnesses laid down their coats at the feet of a young man named Sha’ul.
59 As they were stoning him, Stephen called out to God, “Lord Yeshua! Receive my spirit!” 60 Then he kneeled down and shouted out, “Lord! Don’t hold this sin against them!” With that, he died;

While we were on our Northwest Trip, my wife and I heard someone say, "God created the world in six days. Imagine how wonderful heaven will be! He has been preparing it for Christians for more than 2000 years!" That is a neat thought.
Yesterday I told you that we were amazed when we saw God's creation. But we know we will even be more amazed when we reach heaven. In our Bible Reading, we read that Stephen looked forward to going to heaven. People killed him by throwing stones at him. They killed Stephen because he followed Jesus. Before Stephen died, he looked up and saw the glory of God. Stephen knew that when he died, he would go to a better place.
Jesus is preparing heaven for all Christians. We can trust that heaven is better and bigger than any mansion in this world. You can live in heaven, too, if you follow Jesus and obey His Word.[Chad P. Entinger]
"God will have a home for us to live in. It will not be the kind of home people build here. It will be a home in heaven that will continue forever."[2 Corinthians 5:1b]
PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for preparing heaven for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
