Christ: The Beauty Of The Heavenly Zion!

Baju Joy writes:

Over the centuries, millions of people in the world crossed the Indian Ocean to see the magnificent and matchless beauty of the Taj Mahal. The tomb of love. 'It is a drop of tear in the cheek of time.' The man made tomb for love . . .

However, many millions in the world do not yet know that there is a magnificent and majestic place far more beautiful than Taj Mahal. A place so beautiful that even if you behold it for a billion ages, you will still want to keep looking at it with more and more excitement, without taking your eyes off of it, even for a second. It is Zion, the perfection of beauty!

Why is Zion so beautiful? Because our blessed triune God Who dwells there is so beautiful. The city is so beautiful. The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass. The foundations of the city’s wall are decorated with every kind of precious stone. Even though the city is built with precious stones and gold, Zion will be a hell, if Jesus is not there! Hell may become heaven if Jesus is there! The beauty of heaven is not the beauty of Gold or precious stones but, the beauty of Jesus Christ!

It is the presence of Jesus is make heaven beautiful . . .

Some time ago a man wanted to take my Bible home to get a few things out of it; and when it came back I found this note in it:

Jesus only:

The light of heaven is the face of Jesus

The joy of heaven is the presence of Jesus

The melody of heaven is the name of Jesus

The harmony of heaven is the praise of Jesus

The theme of heaven is the work of Jesus

The employment of heaven is the service of Jesus

The duration of heaven is the eternity of Jesus

The fullness of heaven is Jesus Himself.
