Heaven is not so much a “place” as a state of restored relationship with God; one cannot
attempt to try to replicate heaven in a literal sense because eye has not seen nor ear heard
what God has prepared for us (1 Corinthians 2:9). But nonetheless, with sacramental
mediation, we use the material of this world to make an image of those heavenly realities to
the best of our abilities when aided by the Spirit.
