James and Sonya Herron, IMB Missionaries
Uganda East Africa
Island Ministry team (Upper Buvuma Islands)
The vision of the International Mission
Board is to see a multitude from every language, people, tribe and nation
knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ
Heaven Is Our Home
But Christ has indeed
been risen from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the
resurrection of the dead come through a man.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ the
firstfruits; then when He comes, those who belong to Him. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23
When asked where we
live our first response is to give our physical address, our earthly dwelling place. This mindset keeps our focus to the temporal
rather than the enteral. The reality and
assurance of our position in Christ is clear through the Bible. Jesus said, “…I am going away to prepare a
place for you.” John 14: 2b. Image the place Jesus is preparing just for
you. Christ is with us as we move toward
His return or our entrance into His presence.
The certainty of our heavenly home should give us peace and joy and help
us as we journey to our true home on high in the presence of our loving Savior.
