Harry, Hallows, Heaven and Hell

By Lane Palmer|Christian Post Guest Columnist

Um, no. Heaven is such an astonishing, remarkable mind blowing place, the Bible writers didn’t even bother trying to use specific descriptions. Sort of like when you experience a beautiful sunset or stand on the top of a mountain and then try to tell someone about it. For me, words don’t even come close – and the same holds true for heaven.

So there you have it. When the last page is turned on the books of our lives, the Book of Life will be opened, we’re going to end up in one of two places. There is no reincarnation, no Sixth Sense Ghostbusters, no deposit, no return, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

The great part is that you get to write the ending of your story. Jesus died on the cross and came back from the dead to rescue you from hell and offer a reservation in heaven. All you have to do is put your trust in Him alone for salvation, and your name will be written in the Book of Life. That means the conclusion of your era on earth will be the beginning of your eternity in heaven…

And that’s the best ending ever written!

It was a balmy California evening. I had gone for a jog before I was to speak at a leadership conference. I still can't recall how I got there, but I found myself sitting on a curb
