1 Cor 5:1 " Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands"
On 11th March 2011, the 9.0 earthquake struck NE Japan.
The above is just one of the many videos of destruction taken by many people on this fateful day.
Brought to mind the temporal nature of our earthly possessions as seen by above verse.
Many Japanese do not know the Lord Jesus Christ. At least 20,000 or more lives were lost in this disaster.
So what if our earthly dwellings are destroyed in matters of seconds through the earthquake or tsunami?
We thank God for the Hope of a future heavenly dwelling, a place prepared for us in advance to those who know Him and called upon Him for the forgiveness of sins.
We are exorted in Matt 6:19 - Not to store up treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But rather to store up treasures in heaven. where it cannot be destroyed or stolen. For where our treasure is, there our heart will be also.
