Sermon - Jeff Raines - What Does Jesus Teach About Heaven [John 14:1-6]
•
Various
What is our vision and idea of heaven? Many pop culture misconceptions about what heaven is can flood our imagination, but what does Jesus say about heaven?
In the Gospels, heaven is mentioned 126 times. Many times the concept of “Kingdom of Heaven” is used- sometimes it is a reference to God’s presence.
What Jesus says:
- What we experience after death is like coming home. (John 14:1-6)
- The path to heaven is through Jesus (John 14:6, John 3:16)
- Jesus often used word “life” and “eternal life.” (John 11:25-26) He also used the metaphor of a banquet or a party.
- Resurrection is our future and our future is life. Revelation paints a picture of a New Heaven and a New Earth.
We don’t know exactly what it will be like, but we do know that Jesus is Lord, giving us life and He invites us to join Him.
