Heaven

 From a sermon preached by Dr. Daniel Lundy 
 

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if 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.”

  Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t 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.” 

John 14:1-6

Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

2 Corinthians 5:1-10

  The hope of heaven has always been a central affirmation of the Christian faith. It is reflected in Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 5:1 where he writes: “Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal home in heaven, not built by human hands.” Paul says, “We know that we have an eternal home in heaven.” Not, we hope, but, we know.

  That’s the language of certainty. What is the certainty that he has? Heaven! What is that certainty resting on?
