Somehow, over time, our understanding of heaven got a bit off. It's not that our understanding of heaven is incorrect, it's just incomplete. Far too many Christians think about heaven as a place they will go - some ethereal city in the clouds - rather than a place that is coming and will come to us...on earth. This creation, with all of its beauty and brokenness was created by God himself, and will be recreated in the Kingdom to come. The good news of Christ's coming kingdom is not only heaven...but earth as well. This is the old testament promise for a new testament people.
