WHAT JESUS TAUGHT ABOUT HEAVEN? ( Part 11 )
How did God re-connect Heaven with a fallen Earth?
The first reunions between Heaven and earth took place in the Tabernacle/ Temple. Here, animal sacrifices were used to atone in part for the sin of mankind, creating a sort of "clean zone" where Heaven and earth could meet and God could dwell with His people.
Even so, tabernacles, temples, and animal sacrifices were only a temporary solution for reuniting God's realm with ours. God's permanent solution was His Son, Jesus Christ.
Everywhere on earth that Christ visited, He brought an Open Heaven with Him, and though mankind ultimately killed Him, His death created a permanent access point between Heaven and Earth.
Indeed Jesus is the perfect Lamb of God ( John 1:26 )
*John 1:29 *
29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Abba Father, because Jesus was Your perfect sacrifice for our sins ( the one and all-time Atoning Sacrifice ), we are able to interact with Heaven right now in this very moment. Until the day comes when we die and go to Heaven or Christ fully reunites Heaven and Earth, we as believers should all be doing our part to make the bond between Heaven and Earth a little bit stronger.
