Revelation 21 is a beautiful picture of the new heaven and the new earth that await us in the fullness of time. I wonder what you think heaven will be like?

In Rev. 21 I hear so many echoes back to Genesis and the creation story. Paradise was created – paradise was lost – and paradise is recovered in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Heaven and earth – thin places – places where the two seem so very close. John pictures heaven as coming down to us in this new earth. A thin place.

Where are the thin places for you? Maybe it is a place like the beach or the mountains. Maybe it is a spiritual retreat like Dwight Mission or some other place. But, I think the point is that thin places can be anywhere and everywhere if we are cognizant of the presence of the Eternal in the ordinary.

May this day be a thin place for you – a day of practice for the fullness of the presence of God in a day yet to come!
