Heaven on Earth

Bonne nuit guys!! I just came back from a bible study on my lovely church at Jakarta. During the service today, my father shared a short devotion before the real pastor preached. He was talking about making heaven on earth which scripture is taken from Matthew 6:9-10. That verse inspires me so much!! It says:



9 In this manner, therefore, pray: 

 Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 
 10Your kingdom come. 
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.



He said that for those who BELIEVE and LIVE in Jesus, will experience heaven on earth. Make it even more focus, not the real heaven yet, but the REALM of heaven. If you really live and trust Jesus, you shall experience ‘heaven’. Wonderful right?



Making things easy for you, catch this analogy. (LOVEE ANALOGY SO MUCHH <3)

Have you ever gone for a trip by car? Just few weeks ago I was travelling to Belitung island in Indonesia. It is extremely beautiful. I personally believed that this island will be the next Bali. So, back to focus, as I was driving to Tanjung Tinggi beach from the central city (which located in the middle of the island), I realized that there is a transition from a rainforest-like atmosphere towards a beach-and-sea-like atmosphere. When you almost arrive at the beach, you will feel the atmosphere of the beach already EVENTHOUGH you are not in the beach yet! You can feel the sea breeze, the coconut trees waving at you, and the soil composition on the roadsides start turning into a mixture of sands.




Get what I mean?

We all understand and have faith that those who believe in Jesus name will go to heaven when they died. But more than that, as a Christian, we should have a ‘taste’ of heaven, even before we are there! It is the Realm of Heaven. So, let’s create the realm of heaven on earth. Faith is bigger than proof. right? :)



Auf wiedersehen ;)!
