The question was asked in church this morning, "How far is it to heaven?" And then, "Can we walk there? Can we drive there? Can we fly?"
Of course the answer to these last questions is "no".
As humans, we struggle to really grasp the concept of heaven. We haven't been there and we haven't seen it, yet we know it exists.
For my great-uncle it was the distance between his last breath here on earth yesterday morning and his first breath in eternity. No distance at all really.
But for those of us left behind, it can still seem like a long way away.
In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2, NKJV.)
