I really enjoy watching the Olympics, and I love the
excitement of the opening ceremonies. The host country always puts on an
elaborate show followed by all the athletes marching in dressed in styles and
costumes that represent their countries. It’s such an amazing spectacle. But it
struck me as I watched the opening ceremony this year that this is just the
smallest taste of what Heaven will be like. People from all over the world
gathered together in excitement and celebration, diverse but united at the same
time. We won’t be celebrating sports, but Jesus our Lord who gave his life for
every single one of us.
I like thinking about it.
“After this I looked, and there before me was a great
multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and
language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing
white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they
cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the
throne,
and to the Lamb’” — Revelation 7:9-10
