dimensions

We need dimensions to picture places and objects that are described to us.  We can appreciate a 100 yard kickoff return in football.  We are amazed to consider folks who run 26.3 miles to complete marathons.  We struggle to grasp the light years of distance to stars in space.  We know that 100 years marks a very long lifespan.  Dimensions help us picture our world of time and space.  But what are the dimensions of Heaven?  Sometimes I think that Heaven is difficult to conceive of because it seems to lie in a place beyond the dimensions of time or of place.  We just have difficulty picturing how high, how long and what appearance a place like Heaven has.  Dimensions are invaluable in a world with limits but we have never been to a place like Heaven, that is not constrained by time or space.  Perhaps it is a good exercise to begin to condition our minds and our imaginations to comtemplate a "forever" place that lies beyond measure.   Hebrews 9:24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;   blessings, Rob Smith
