Neverland

Friends are at "Peter Pan" today in Dallas.

At the moment I'm watching "Hook" with the grandkids.

The whole story of Peter Pan and Neverland has fascinated children for years, but it also fascinates adults.

It captures our attention and passion because it speaks of a land of dreams and fantasy.  It is, in fact, the story of dreams.

But it also speaks of another land.  Without even realizing it the story of Peter Pan and Neverland is a shadow of another land, another day that is real, that will be a forever land.  The real never land is a land of never again....it's such an outrageous and amazing idea, a land of promises beyond our imagination that it sometimes seems to be just a dream...but it's real and it's near.

The real Neverland is a land of never agains....

Never will you die.
Never will you get sick.
Never will you cry.
Never will you sorrow.
Never will you grieve.
Never will you fear.
Never will you worry.
Never will you be depressed.
Never will you hunger.
Never will you weary.
Never will you need anything.
Never will you dread.
NEVER WILL YOU AGE.  It's better than Peter Pan could have ever imagined.

And on the list goes.....

It's a land of never again.  It's a land where God dwells.  It's a land we will live in forever....if we have trusted Christ as our savior.  It's the land of our dreams....but it's more real than the chair you sit in, more real than the sun in the sky.  It's the real world God designed us to live in.....forever.

The never land we wait for is a forever land.  A land, a world where God dwells...and one day it will be home.....can you imagine how amazing it will be to never again face the pains and fears of this world, this life?  It's the land of promise more real than all you know and experience.  I look forward the the day when I will never again.....
