Message
THE BETTER PLACE
“The Opportunities of The Better Place”
Revelation 21:5-22:20; Other Passages
Introduction: Many have speculated and wondered what Heaven will be like: Will it be boring? Will we work? Will we learn? What will be the opportunities in Heaven?
A Splendid Place to Live
The Intermediate Heaven (Revelation 4:1-11)
The Millennium Heaven (Revelation 20:4-6)
The Eternal Heaven (Revelation 21:5-6a)
A Satisfying Place to Live
Satisfying Resources (Revelation 21:6b)
--being content
--being complete
Satisfying Responsibilities (Revelation 21:7a)
--by reigning (Psalm 47:2) (Revelation 2:26)
--by serving (Genesis 2:15) (Revelation 22:3) (Matthew 25:23)
Satisfying Relationships (Revelation 21:7b)
--with God (1 John 3:2)
--with others (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a)
Satisfying Refuge (Revelation 21:8)
--no threats
--no temptations
Satisfying Discoveries (Revelation 21:9-22:5) (Mark 10:14)
“It is impossible for us to imagine
what the world must have been like
in the dawn of time
when it was unspoiled by sin.
Each day must have been
a day of exciting discovery for Adam.
What marvelous new sounds and scents
and sensations he must have experienced every day
as he explored the vast wide world
that had been entrusted to him to develop and rule.”
--John Phillips
--in nature
--in the arts
--in play
--in stories (John 21:25)
Satisfying Rest (Revelation 22:20) (Genesis 2:1-3)
Bottom Line:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
nor have entered into the heart of man
the things which God has prepared
for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)
Application: Will Heaven be your future reality? Will anyone be in Heaven because of you?
