“Heaven” Part 2

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Rev. Charles E. Fuller once announced that he would be speaking the following Sunday on “Heaven.” During that week a beautiful letter was received from an old man who was very ill. The following is part of his letter: 

Next Sunday, you are to talk about Heaven. I am interested in that land because I have held a clear title to a bit of property there for over fifty-five years. I did not buy it. It was given to me without money and without price. But the donor purchased it for me at tremendous sacrifice. I am not holding it for speculation since the title is not transferable. It is not a vacant lot. 

“For more than half a century, I have been sending materials out of which the greatest Architect and Builder of the Universe has been building a home for me which will never need to be remodeled, nor repaired because it will suit me perfectly, individually, and will never grow old.” 

Termites can never undermine its foundation, for they rest on the Rock of Ages. Fire cannot destroy it. Floods cannot wash it away. No locks nor bolts will ever be placed upon its doors, for no vicious person can ever enter that land where my dwelling stands, now almost completed and almost ready for me to enter in and abide in peace eternally, without fear of being ejected. 

“There is a valley of deep shadow between the place where I live in California and that to which I shall journey in a very short time. I cannot reach my home in that City of Gold without passing through this dark valley of shadows. But I am not afraid because the best friend I ever had went through the same valley long, long ago and drove away all its gloom. He has stuck by me through thick and thin since we first became acquainted fifty-five years ago, and I hold his promise in printed form never to forsake me or leave me alone. He will be with me as I walk through the valley of shadows, and I shall not lose my way when He is with me. 

“I hopes to hear your sermon on Heaven next Sunday from my home in Los Angeles, California, but I have some assurance that I shall be able to do so. My ticket to Heaven has no date marked for the journey-no return coupon-and no permit for baggage. Yes, I am all ready to go, and I may not be here while you are talking next Sunday evening, but I shall meet you there someday.”

A BUILDING IN HEAVEN 

I’ve purchased a town lot in heaven 

On the city not built with hand, 

I’m sending material daily 

To build in that happy land. 

I’d like a mansion on Main Street, 

Where streets are all paved with gold. 

With a clear view of the pearly gates 

Where Christ takes care of the soul. 

I want to send good material 

That will stand the test of time, 

So I’ll not be disappointed 

When I reach that home sublime. 

Prayer is for the foundation, 

Faith and love for the walls, 

Good deeds for the reinforcement. 

That will stand when the Savior calls. 

I would like you for my neighbor 

In that city so divine 

Maybe just across the street 

Or your home close to mine. 

Up there we will know no sorrow, 

Tears will never dim the eyes. 

There we will rest in peace forever 

In that happy home on high. 

So my friends, start to building 

Your home beyond the sky 

Where we can all be together 

In the sweet by and bye.
