“If you had the opportunity to spend the evening with any person who’s ever
lived, whom would you choose? Probably someone fascinating, knowledgeable,
and accomplished…Perhaps you’d choose someone beautiful and talented.
Maybe you’d hope that at the end of the evening he or she would have enjoyed
your company enough to want to spend time with you again…

Is Jesus the first person you would choose? Who is more beautiful,
talented, knowledgeable, fascinating and interesting than he?

The good news is, he chose you. If you’re a Christian,
you’ll be with him for eternity and enjoy endless fascinating conversations and
experiences. Incredibly, he’ll also enjoy your company and mine.
After all, he paid the ultimate price just so he could have us over to his
place for eternity.

Most of us would love to spend the evening with a great author, musician,
artist, or head of state. God is the master artist who created the
universe, the inventor of music, the author and main character of the unfolding
drama of redemption. Head of state? He’s king of the entire
universe. Yet, if someone says, “I want to go to Heaven to be with God
forever,” others wonder, Wouldn’t that be boring?

What are we thinking?

The very qualities we admire in others–every one of them–are true of
God. He’s the source of everything we find fascinating…All that is
admirable and fascinating in human beings comes from their creator.”
