• Have you ever wondered what heaven is like?

4
gtgtgt What is heaven like?

• Thinking and talking about heaven is really
  thinking and talking about God.

5
gtgtgt Heaven is where God is His home.

• Jesus often used the phrase my Father who is in
  heaven. Matt 721 1032,33 1250 167
  1810,19
• He taught his followers to pray Our Father in
  heaven Matt 69

gtgtgt Heaven is where God is His home.

• John 331 (NLT) He (Jesus) has come from above
  and is greater than anyone else. We are of the
  earth, and we speak of earthly things, but he has
  come from heaven and is greater than anyone else.

gtgtgt What is heaven like?

• The brilliance of heaven is seeing Jesus face to
  face.
• The light ahead was growing stronger. Lucy saw
  that a great series of many-coloured cliffs led
  up in front of them like a giants staircase. And
  then she forgot everything else, because Aslan
  himself was coming, leaping down from cliff to
  cliff like a living cataract of power and
  beauty. Farewell to Shadowlands, The
  Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis.

gtgtgt What is heaven like?

• The brilliance of heaven is seeing Jesus face to
  face.
• 1 John 32b (NLT) when Christ appearswe will
  see him as he really is.
• The brilliance of heaven is Jesus.

10
gtgtgt Being in Jesus presence means

• That we will have perfect knowledge.
• 1 Cor 1312-13 (NLT) Now we see things
  imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we
  will see things with perfect clarity. All that I
  know now is partial and incomplete, but then I
  will know everything completely, just as God now
  knows me completely.

11
gtgtgt Being in Jesus presence means

• There will be no evil
• Revelation 214 (NIV)
• Revelation 2010 (NIV)

12
gtgtgt Being in Jesus presence means

• Great glory
• Gods glory is its light, the Lamb its lamp!
  Revelation 2023 (Msg).

13

• The brilliance of heaven is Jesus
• and because of Jesus we can be transformed.

14

• 1 Corinthians 15 42-44 (Msg) the corpse that is
  planted is no beauty, but when its raised, its
  glorious. Put it in the ground weak, it comes up
  powerful. The seed sown is natural the seed
  grown is supernatural same seed, same body but
  what a difference from when it goes down in
  physical mortality to when it is raised up in
  spiritual immortality.

15

• If the brilliance of heaven is Jesus, the horror
  of hell is no Jesus (the absence of God.)
• Sin is a person saying to God throughout life,
  Go away and leave me alone. Hell is God finally
  saying to that individual, You may have your
  wish. It is Gods leaving one to oneself, as he
  or she has chosen. - C.S Lewis

16

• John 141-11a (NIV) Do not let your hearts be
  troubled. Trust in God trust also in me. In my
  Fathers house are many rooms of it were not so,
  I would have told you. I am going there to
  prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare
  a place for you, I will come back and take you to
  be with me that you also may be where I am. You
  know the way to the place where I am going.

17

• Thomas said to him, Lord, we dont know where
  you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus
  answered, I am the way and the truth and the
  life. No one comes to the Father except through
  me. If you really knew me, you would know my
  Father as well. From now on you do know him and
  have seen him. Philip said, Lord, show us the
  Father and that will be enough for us.

18

• Jesus answered, Dont you know me Philip, even
  after I have been among you for such a long time?
  Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How
  can you say, Show us the Father? Dont you
  believe that I am in the Father, and that the
  Father is in me? The words I say to you are not
  just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in
  me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say
  that I am in the Father and the Father is in me
