David knocked on the door. It opened to reveal his mother. She was wearing a very fancy floor length dress.
" Mother, here is our table seating schedule".
She put on a new red hat. " Is your new friend and her brother going to dine with us?".
" Yes they will". He took her arm. They walked down the hallway to the first class dining room. They walked in and found their table. The huge room contained alcoves and leaded windows. Each table had a white linen tablecloth and a glowing lamp in the middle.
At the end of their table sat a man and a woman. They introduced themselves as Benjamin Guggenheim and Kitty Webb.
David's mother smiled. " They are here".
David turned to see Charlene walk up to the table. She was wearing a full length satin blue dress. Her brother was wearing a fancy man's suit.
David pulled the chairs out for both women. They all sat down.
The other table guests began to arrive.
The last was a large man with brown eyes and a mustache. " Good evening, I'm Colonel Archibald Gracie".

Heaven: living with God forever
Heaven: living with God forever by ric Gustafson
We God's believers and God will live forever together on the New Earth. According to Ezekiel 37:27, my dwelling place will be with them I will be their God and they will be my people. God will live among us on the New Earth. In heaven, there will be no more self righteousness or self deceit. Heaven is an extension of God's goodness. Jesus promises us in John 14:3 that he will come back and take us to be with him. Jesus wants to share his glory with us.
We can get to know God now. Through prayer, confess our failings and gather with fellow believers.
Praise God that we can know him now and on the New Earth forever.

the miracle on Titanic page 13
the miracle on Titanic page 13 by ric Gustafson
David and his mother walked over to the railing. They heard a blast of the ship's horn. They noticed that the ship's engines had slowed.
"Who were you spending time with?" she asked.
The ship's mighty anchors dropped into place.
" Her name is Charlene Moton". He smiled. " I just met her this afternoon".
A gang plank was set up. A ferry approached and then docked.
" Is she a nice girl?".
They watched as well dressed passengers came off the ferry and then entered the ship.
" She seems nice". His voice hesitated. " I haven't had much time to talk to her yet".
They heard the ship's horn blast again. They knew that the Cherbourg ferry had stopped. They knew that shortly the ship would continue on it's maiden journey.
" Are you going to see her again?".
" Actually, she asked if you and I would join her and her brother for dinner tonight?".
His mother smiled. " What did you tell her?".
" I told her that I would ask you".
" David, tell her that we would love to".
" Ok". He reached the glass door of the smoking room. " I'm going to spend a little bit of time in here".
" I'm going back to my cabin to rest and change for dinner".
" Ok".

Heaven: a new body
Heaven: a new body by ric Gustafson
It has always been God's intention for us to have a new life on a New Earth. God set eternity into our hearts. We will return to an earthly life. The difference is that it will be freed from sin and the curse. We will become new people but still remain the same people.
We will change at death. We will change at the resurrection. But we will still be who we were and who we are. Conversion is changing the old not eliminating it. We will remain the same unique beings that God created. We will have the same history, memory and skills. God will take our fallen corrupt bodies and restore, refresh and renew. The New Earth will be a changed earth. It will be converted and resurrected. Praise God.

Heaven: the curse is reversed
Heaven: the curse is reversed by ric Gustafson
According to Revelation 22:3, no longer will there be any curse. What is this curse?. According to Genesis 3:17, after Adam sinned in the Garden, God cursed the ground. When this curse is reversed, there will be no more painful toil, no thorns or thistles and no more returning to the ground. We will no longer be swallowed up in death.
Because of the curse, Adam could not eat from the tree of life. Death was the only way to get out from under the curse. Jesus is the last Adam and he came to defeat death and restore a relationship with him. Because of the curse, mankind has been heavily affected by sin, death and decay. Jesus will destroy the curse and swallow up death forever.

Heaven: running the race
Heaven: running the race by ric Gustafson
According to Revelation 19: 1-5, those in heaven are looking down at us and observing what is going on. Hebrews 12:1 talks about running a race that is marked out for us. It talks about those who have gone before us in a stadium cheering us on. These saints are referred as ' a great cloud of witnesses'. These saints are watching us and cheering us on as we run our race. In heaven, Jesus watches our lives here on this earth very carefully. Angels and saints know what we are doing down here.
According to Luke 15:10, the angels rejoice when one sinner repents.
