A Portrait of Heaven

Hook: What are some common misconceptions about heaven?

Book: To soften the blow of His impending death, Jesus provided a glimpse of heaven to quiet their troubled hearts. As in an ancient wedding, Jesus was going to His Father’s house to prepare rooms for those who trust Him, His bride; and then He will come back to take them to the eternal home. He wants His followers to be where He is. One day, at your death or at His return, Jesus will take you to be with him (see 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18). For Jesus, death was the path home to be with the Father. He said heaven is for those who trust in God and trust also in Him.
