"'Tis at the cross of Christ
Where earth and heaven meet
Where sin is overcome
To God the victory"
Where earth and heaven meet
Where sin is overcome
To God the victory"
I always think that there is Earth, then a million miles away there is Heaven. They are two separate and distinct places. One I live in now, the other I will live in forever. But they aren't as distinct as my mind makes them out to be.
They meet.
They come together.
They fuse.
The gap is bridged.
It all happens at the cross. The cross of Jesus Christ is the only reason that one day I will walk from darkness into eternal light (Acts 26:18). It's the only way I will enter the gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise (Psalm 100:4). It's the only way I can enter the small gate at the end of the narrow road (Matthew 7:14).
He is the only way.
Heaven and Earth, they meet. They are closely linked. You can almost reach out and touch Heaven. It's like we (Earth) are on the outside looking in (Heaven). We can see it, we know what is there, what waits for us. The only thing separating us from it is window/door, and all we have to do it knock and the door will be opened (Matthew 7:7). We will be changed from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18)!
