For my 50th post, I wanted to provide a free creative resource. We used this in our service on July 5, 2009 as we focused on remembering and entering into the holiness of God. The dramatic reading below is for one person to deliver as he/she describes what it might be like to enter the throne room of God because of Jesus and to be in His presence. It’s really effective with songs like Revelation Song, Exalted (Tomlin), Holy, Holy, Holy, and Agnus Dei.
Have some music playing underneath and invite people to close their eyes and imagine what is being read. When we used this, it was very impactful.
Adapt and use as necessary. This was originally told to my wife and her siblings by their mom as they were growing up. Enjoy!

This was the final week of the series we’ve doing on 1 Peter where we’ve been exploring how many Christians live today as if the world were our final destination. We pour our life resources and energy into things that will barely last 50 years, let alone eternity. We frequently cave in to the old sinful desires. We struggle to remain faithful in the midst of great suffering. We’ve lost sight of the glorious inheritance waiting for us.
