“But as it is written, ‘Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.’”
(I Corinthians 2:9)
An elderly lady on her death-bed said to me, “I wonder what heaven will be like.” Sometimes she would say, “I wonder what Jesus looks like.” And then she would say, “I’ll know pretty soon.”
Paul is quoting from Isaiah 64:4 as he speaks of things yet unseen by human eyes, unheard by human ears and not yet thought of by human comprehension. We can only imagine the things God has prepared for those who love Him. Think of the beauty of heaven as we see for the first time the home He has prepared for us. How wonderful the music will be when we hear the choirs singing and perhaps David playing his harp. Think of hearing Jesus, the Master of all preachers, delivering the Word like we have never heard before. There is a song that exclaims, “How beautiful heaven must be.”
Do you love Him? The text says that all this is for those who love Him.
