Pearly Gates of Heaven

My Pastor taught us something about the pearly gates of heaven that I hope will bless your heart.

In Revelation 21:21 "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several(individual) gate was of one pearl:.... "

When a pearl is created in an oyster, it is created in suffering. What happens is, a grain of sand get lodged or trapped in the oyster and the minerals build upon it creating a very valued pearl. What is precious about the pearl gates of Heaven is that they are created from Jesus's own suffering on the cross for our everlasting value, eternal life! He suffers to death for our entry into Heaven and we benefit! What a loving Savior our Lord is!

I will never again think of another pearl in the same manner ever again and hopefully you won't either but remember Jesus's suffering for our entrance in Glory. One day we will see those pearl gates and will walk through them ourselves. In 2 Peter 1:11 it says "For so an entrance shall be ministered (supplied) unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Wow, what a day that will be!!
