Henry Drummond on Heaven

The heaven of Christianity is different from all other heavens because the religion of Christianity is different from all other religions—it moves among real things. Its sphere is the street, the market place, the working life of the world. But if heaven be a city, the life of those who are going there must be a real life. Christ's gift to us was life: a rich and abundant life. An abundant life does not show itself in abundant dreaming, but in abundant living among real and tangible objects and to actual and practical purposes.
