What Heaven Is Like
Jesus
is reported
to have Loved
His Metaphors,
often comparing
Heaven
to a Kingdom of
Love.
Once Saying,
“It’s Like When
a Rebellious and
Renegade Son is
Greeted by His
Adoring Father
with a Robe and
a Ring and
a Sumptuous Banquet.”
Or a Woman,
caught in a
Hooker’s Transgression,
is Told by Him,
after Chasing Away
Her Prosecutors,
that He Rejects
their Judgment and
Condemnation.
She’s Free
to Go and
Find a Better Way.
But, Above All,
I Favor
His Metaphor
for Receiving an
Open Invitation
to Enter
The Heaven of
That Kingdom of Love:
Practice until
You can Live
The Life of
a Child,
Filled with
Laughter and
Play and
Believing in
Magic.
