Little children like it, because it sounds like a happy fairyland to them. Nobody to hurt them or quarrel with them, no darkness, lovely music, white robes, rivers and fruit trees, paths of gold. Nothing to be afraid of, no sickness, no pain, every one full of joy and happiness, lots of little angel children to play with. Who would not like to be there?
When you grow older you will still like to think of such a beautiful Heaven, but you will want to go there to meet your old friends, your parents, your brothers and sisters who have gone before you, and above all, you will want to meet your Saviour whom you have learnt to love.
Do you know the road to Heaven?
So many start out for it, and lose their way.
And I will tell you a secret.
Boys and girls are much nearer the Road when they are small, than when they get bigger.
It is easier to find when you are young, than when you grow up.
Do you remember a little verse in the Bible which says:
"I love them that love Me, and those that seek Me early shall find Me."
What has this to do with the road to Heaven?
