The Best Fishing Holes The Best Fishing Holes Read: Revelation 22:1-5 Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 30-31; Luke 13:23-35 He was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words. 2 Corinthians 12:4 My friend Gus passed away a few months ago. Gus was a fellow trout fisherman. Weekends usually found him in his little boat on a nearby lake, casting for fish. I got a letter from his Heidi the other day. She told me she's been talking about heaven with her grandkids since Gus went to his home in heaven. Her 6-year-old grandson, who also loves to fish, explained what heaven is like and what Great-Grandpa Gus is doing: It's really beautiful, he mused, and Jesus is showing Grandpa Gus where the best fishing holes are. When Paul reported his God-given vision of heaven, words failed him. He said, I was caught up to paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be expressed in words 2 Cor. 12.4 . Words cannot convey the facts of heaven perhaps because we humans are unable to comprehend them. While we might gain some comfort from knowing more details about heaven, it is not the knowledge of heaven that assures us; it is our knowledge of God Himself. Because I know Him and I know how good He is, I can leave this life and everything in it with utter confidence that heaven will be beautiful and Jesus will show me where the best fishing holes are because that's the kind of God He is! Let us beg and pray Him day by day to reveal Himself to our souls more fully, to quicken our sense, to give us sight and hearing, taste and touch of the world to come. Nothing on earth compares to being with Christ in heaven.
