Paradise (Official) - Coldplay

Revelation 21:3-4
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

In the imagination...Heaven will blow your mind.

At first...I think of my loved ones that have died in the Lord, and the comfort I have in knowing that they rest from their labor in...Para Para Paradise.

But there is much...much more to it!
The more you think about heaven, the more R I G H T it seems to be.
For example...to know Christ as your personal savior places you in a category that means...well...many things, and not all of it is a walk in the park. Fellowship with Christ, as a joint-heir with Him...places you at odds with the world; an enemy of the devil; and a target for persecution.The closer your walk with Him...the more uncomfortable we should become in this world.

You may live a reasonably comfortable life in school, work, worship, and play.
However...in war torn regions of the world; in poverty stricken places; in disease infested regions, in evil places...the word "comfort" has a totally different meaning.  For a reality check on the issues many Christians face today, globally, read a few testimonies of our missionaries in Africa, in the middle east, or  those in areas where ethnic strife exist.

Countless millions have lost their lives for following Christ. Untold numbers experience daily intense suffering, fear, and the threat of death for their faith in Christ Jesus.

Children...where do we begin?
Their suffering in this world is immeasurable.

I am sooo happy their is a heaven for them; a Paradise for those believers who were robbed of peace;
for the saints of God to...rest.
Paradise to an orphaned child in the Sudan must sound like...Heaven.

Paradise is R I G H T and an eternal home for the people of God
