What does Jesus think about Heaven?

Matthew 5:12

“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

1. Heaven is a real place.

Matthew 6:19-21

2 Corinthians 5:1-5

2. Heaven is the place where Jesus lives.

John 14:1-3

3. Heaven is a perfect place.

- perfect SIGHT.

Job 19:25-27

Out of this close relationship with Him will come all types of blessings that are like an avalanche that will overwhelm us:

- perfect WORSHIP!

We will worship together, but the Bible teaches that we will also be living in dwelling places, eating and drinking, reigning with Christ and working for Him.

Have you ever had a moment during worship where you undeniably experienced the very presence of God?

Revelation 5:13

People love to celebrate.

On that day we will have perfect wisdom and will know what to celebrate- OUR GOD!

- perfect JOY!

- perfect LOVE!

- perfect SERVICE!

- perfect REWARD!

2 Timothy 4:8

4. Heaven is a place for a certain type of people.

John 3:3

John 14:4-7

If we are to be heavenward bound then we must be heaven-born. (Lockyer)

Have you noticed our preoccupation with pleasure in America?

Remember what Jesus said about it: “for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
