A Place Called Heaven

John 14:1-6

Because mankind is earthbound until death, misconceptions about heaven are common.

Some people imagine it as an ethereal world of formless spirits who float about, while others flatly deny its existence.

A few have returned from near-death experiences to describe what they saw. Amid all the confusing and contradictory views, we would do well to remember that our only sure source of accurate information about heaven is God's Word.

Jesus had firsthand knowledge of heaven because He came from the Father to earth.

Shortly before dying, He told His disciples that He would return to His Father's house to prepare a place for them and then would come back to take them to their new home.

Several weeks later, while standing on the Mount of Olives, the disciples watched the resurrected body of Jesus ascend into heaven (Acts 1:9-11).

Ever since that day, believers throughout history have been waiting for the Lord's promised return.

Each one will be given an immortal resurrection body similar to Christ's. It will be physical, visible, and recognizable to others. We will even be able to eat (Luke 24:41-43).

Heaven is a literal place for physical bodies—a place to live, serve God, and worship and enjoy Him forever.

Knowing all the specifics of our heavenly home is impossible, but we can be sure that Jesus will fulfill His promise to come back for us.

Stepping into our custom-designed dwelling places, we'll each realize that we're finally home—and throughout eternity can never be separated from God.
