Pointing towards Home – Thought 1

So as I have previously blogged about several times, one of the biggest spiritual themes in my life is heaven. Other than the person of Christ, there isn’t another theme which gets me excited not only about what’s to come, but also talking to others about the Gospel. So given that, I going to structure some of my upcoming posts around my thoughts / hopes about heaven, and am naming them “Pointing towards Home”. So over the Easter weekend, worship at church was fantastic. One of the themes of course was new life. I don’t quite remember which song and verse mentioned it, but the phrase, “new life” came up.
