WHAT JESUS TAUGHT ABOUT HEAVEN? ( Part 2 )
Satan does not want us to have a clear picture of all that God has planned for us in eternity.
He breeds 3 popular misconceptions:
1. Heaven is LalaLand...you will be floating around on clouds playing the harp as if it is not a place that should be taken seriously.
2. Heaven is not a place to look forward to...as it is one long, boring worship service.
3. The world, not Heaven gives a good life ...stop thinking about Heaven!
Admittedly our theological training has not included Heaven as its focus...think about all the Endtime seminars you have attended!
Our focus has almost exclusively been on helping people live successfully in this temporal world rather than being prepared for the eternal world.
Jesus was not going to prepare a state of mind or a concept. He was going to prepare an actual place ( John 14: 2-4 ) specially created for those who have a personal relationship with God.
Abba Father, forgive us for being seduced by the world so that we have no real idea what Heaven is really like. Understanding Your Word about Heaven will change our perspective, desires, priorities, and life! For Heaven is where You are ( Matt.6:9), where Jesus is at Your right hand ( Rom.8:34 ) and where all believers who died in Christ are ( Heb.12:23 ).
