Heaven is multiethnic. Are you ready for that?
The Bible tells us that the congregation gathered around Gods heavenly throne will be a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, all singing the praises of the Lamb. Gods intention has always been to delight for all eternity in a redeemed community of ethnic diversity.
But this diverse community shouldnt have to wait until eternity to begin! It can be a reality in our own local churches here and now. Patterned after a worship service, In Church as It Is in Heaven gives biblical warrant for such a community and shows how multiethnic churches provide a unique apologetic for the gospel. Along the way, the authors tell the story of their own churcha majority-white congregation which is being transformed into a family that reflects the diversity of heaven.
The multiethnic kingdom is not just a nice idea, or an abstract theory. Its a realityone we can enter into today.
